Grape-colored antique white hearts 4-strand bracelet with turquoise clasp

This is a 4-strand bracelet made by connecting antique white hearts in a grape color. The purple and red beads are antique beads called white hearts. They are called this because the core (heart) part is white. These are beads from Venice, dating from around the 19th to 20th century. They are a mix of grape-like colors and deep reds. While white hearts are often red, this kind of purple color is rare! The turquoise blue bead on the clasp's loop is an antique Venetian bead called a chevron. This one has a 4-layer structure. Chevron beads mean "mountain shape" in English. (In Italian, they are called rosetta.) They are also known as the "nobility of beads," holding a high value and significant meaning. Turquoise blue chevron beads, in particular, are rare and difficult to obtain!! Each small Karen silver bead on the clasp is stamped! It's mind-boggling to think it's all done by hand... ◇Karen Silver◇ This is silver made by mountain tribes living in Thailand and Burma.
