Four-Strand Bracelet with Antique Jet Seed Beads and Ruby Red White Heart Beads, Turquoise Clasp

This is a four-strand bracelet connecting antique jet seed beads and ruby red White Heart beads. The jet black beads are old Indian seed beads. Their worn texture offers a unique charm, a testament to being cherished for many years (circa 19th-20th century). Each tiny bead varies in size and shape, creating a rich tapestry of expressions. (Bead size: 2.3-2.8mm) A slightly larger ruby red White Heart bead adorns the loop of the clasp, while smaller ruby red White Hearts are interspersed along the strands for color. They are called White Hearts due to the white core visible within the transparent bead. These are Venetian beads, dating from the 19th-20th century. Their deep red hue is achieved through a process of coloring with gold, resulting in this distinctive shade. These are rare beads known as "gold-red" White Hearts. The golden beads are old Orissa brass, rare and ancient beads sourced from the Orissa region of India. Each small Karen silver bead on the clasp is individually stamped! The thought that each one is hand-crafted is truly awe-inspiring... ◇ Karen Silver ◇ This silver is crafted by a mountain ethnic group living in the Thai-Burma region. Each piece is handmade and is said to be of very high purity. The clasp features a mint green turquoise, showcasing beautiful stripe patterns.
