Antique Tibetan Turquoise & Agate Silver Bracelet

A bracelet connecting Antique Tibetan Turquoise and Ancient Agate, Antique Chin Silver & Antique Orissa Brass, Gold-Red White Hearts, and an Antique Indian Silver Charm. The Antique Tibetan Turquoise is approximately 100 to 200 years old (possibly even older). It was acquired from a collector who traveled directly to Tibet. Turquoise is often called the "Fallen Skystone" and has been revered as a sacred stone in various cultures since ancient times. In Tibet, it has even been used as medicine and is a stone that has been passed down and worn for thousands of years. It features a subdued khaki color and a beautifully organic shape. (Turquoise size: L 1.4 cm x W 0.9 cm x D 0.9 cm) We've incorporated Ancient Agate with beautiful, intricate stripes and a rustic vibe. Excavated from the Indus River valley (Pakistan to India), this piece is about 2,000 years old. You will love its matte texture and detailed banding! (Ancient Agate size: W 0.5 cm x Dia 0.7 cm) The plump, pot-shaped silver bead next to the turquoise is an incredibly rare Antique Chin Silver bead. An heirloom piece from the 18th to 19th centuries, it arrived from Burma (Myanmar). Originally worn as necklaces by Chin women, it shows a unique sense of wear and endearing scratches from time. Its profound weight and presence are unmatched by modern silver. It is an antique bead that has been soaring in value recently. The dull golden beads and the anchor-like charm are Antique Orissa Brass. These antique brass beads from India are now very hard to find and highly sought after. The charm near the clasp is also an old Indian piece. The deep red beads are antique glass beads known as "White Hearts," named for their white inner cores. Made in Venice around the 19th to 20th centuries, this specific muted red color is achieved by using real gold, making them the exceptionally rare "Gold-Red White Hearts." (Gold-Red White Hearts size: 3.5 - 4 mm) For the clasp section, we added an antique Indian silver charm crafted between the 19th and early 20th centuries. With frequent wear, it will develop a unique, beautiful luster. Pictured in the center is Bhumiya Raj, the legendary horseback hero of Rajasthan, India. (Indian Silver Charm size: L 1.6 cm x W 1.3 cm, including the ring) The clasp mechanism and the small spacer beads are made of Karen Silver. ◇ Karen Silver ◇ Handcrafted by the hill tribes living in Thailand and Burma, each piece is individually made and known for its exceptionally high silver purity. This is a bracelet that lets you fully enjoy the profound, calming tones of antique beads. Strung on a waxed cord, it may feel a bit stiff at first, but it will soften and become perfectly supple the more you wear it. Size adjustments are available, so please feel free to contact us.
