Tricolor Record Beads, Naga Tribe Mikan Beads, Gold-Red White Hearts, and Grained Brass Bracelet with Turquoise Clasp

This is a bracelet made by connecting tricolor record beads, Naga tribe mikan beads, gold-red white hearts, and grained brass beads. The tricolor beads, also known as record or Balkan beads, originate from Africa. They were once made from actual vinyl records. Their colorful and vibrant appearance evokes images of the African landscape! (Record bead size: 0.4cm diameter) The sky-blue beads with their subtle grooves are from the Naga tribe. These small beads have a unique charm with their slightly irregular channels. They have minor scratches and imperfections, but these only add to their character. The granular beads are brass beads made by the Benin people of Africa. The teardrop-shaped component with a chain is an old Afghan piece. The small bell is from the Kuchi tribe, originally used as ornamentation, and is also an old item. The deep red beads are antique beads called White Hearts, named for their white core. These are Venetian beads from around the 19th-20th century. The deep red White Hearts are rare beads, called "gold-red" because their color is achieved through the use of gold. The golden beads are old Orissa brass. These are old and rare beads from the Orissa region of India. Each tiny Karen silver bead on the clasp is individually engraved! The thought of them being hand-crafted is truly remarkable. ◇ Karen Silver ◇ This silver is crafted by a hill tribe living in Thailand and Burma. Each piece is handmade, and it is said to have very high purity. Three antique Venetian beads have been added to the ring part of the clasp. The teardrop-shaped component and the chain-like parts are also old items from Afghanistan. The clasp is made of turquoise. (Turquoise size: 1.2cm diameter) Connected with waxed cord, it may feel a bit stiff at first but will become supple with wear.
