A Delicate Bracelet Featuring Kingman Turquoise, Red Gold & Turquoise Blue Whiteheart Beads, Lapis Lazuli, and Karen Silver

This is a delicate bracelet connecting Kingman turquoise, rare red gold and turquoise blue whiteheart beads, lapis lazuli, and Karen silver. The vibrant sky-blue beads are Kingman turquoise, known for their vivid yet gentle hue. Sourced from the Kingman mine in Arizona, USA, these turquoise stones offer a light and beautiful coloration. (Kingman Turquoise Size: 1cm width, 0.7cm diameter) The deep red beads are antique "Whiteheart" beads, named for their white cores. These Venetian beads, dating from the 19th-20th centuries, are rare "red gold" whitehearts, meaning their rich red color is achieved through a gold-based process. The turquoise blue whiteheart beads are also antique Venetian glass, and are even rarer, especially these particular beads featuring a striped pattern, making them exceptionally scarce. The tiny, abacus-shaped lapis lazuli beads hail from Afghanistan. Each bead is hand-carved, resulting in slight variations in shape and size, which adds to their unique charm. Over time, the oils from your skin will enhance their deep color, though they may appear slightly lighter when dry. To maintain their richness, we recommend applying a tiny amount of baby oil to your hands before wearing or if the beads appear dry. (Lapis Lazuli Size: 2.5-3mm diameter) The slender rectangular, faceted, and smaller accent beads, as well as the charms and clasp, are all crafted from Karen silver. Each tiny Karen silver bead is individually stamped – a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship involved, which is truly astounding. ◇ Karen Silver ◇ This silver is produced by the hill tribes of Thailand and Burma. It is renowned for its high purity and is entirely handcrafted. The flower-shaped beads are also silver. This bracelet is perfect worn alone or layered with other silver accessories.
