This bracelet is crafted by connecting emerald green Javanese beads, Mizoram carnelian, seed brass, red gold white hearts, and Shan silver. The emerald green beads originate from Java Island. While their exact age is unknown, they are likely vintage pieces. Upon closer inspection, you'll notice subtle variations in hue, giving each bead a unique character. (Javanese bead size: 4mm-6mm) The orange beads are Mizoram carnelian, believed to be heirloom pieces from the 18th century, originating from the Mizoram state in Northeast India. They display beautiful color variations and rich expressiveness, though they bear marks of their age. (Mizoram carnelian size: 0.55cm width, 0.7cm diameter) The seed-like beads are brass beads crafted by the Benin people of Africa. Interspersed between the Javanese beads are ring-shaped Shan old silver pieces. Each is handmade, resulting in charming irregularities. Though their age is uncertain, they possess a well-loved patina. The golden beads are old Orissa brass, rare and antique beads from the state of Orissa in India. The charm near the clasp is also old brass from India. The small Karen silver beads near the clasp are individually stamped – a testament to meticulous handcraftsmanship that is truly awe-inspiring. ◇ Karen Silver ◇ This silver is crafted by a hill tribe living in Thai Burma. Each piece is handmade and said to be of very high purity. A single blue-green bead is set near the clasp; it's an antique Indian Pacific bead. The origins of Indian Pacific beads are traced back to the 2nd century BCE. These particular beads are earthenware unearthed in Indonesia, dating back an astonishing 1000 years to around the 10th century! The clasp features a turquoise stone. (Turquoise size: 1.2cm diameter) Connected with waxed cord, the bracelet may feel slightly stiff initially, but it will soften with wear. The red beads are antique white heart beads, named for their white core. These are from Venice, dating between the 19th and 20th centuries. These specific ones are enhanced with gold for a rich red hue, making them rare finds. This bracelet allows you to enjoy the beauty of the emerald green beads.
