Antique Ruby Red Mix White Heart 4-Strand Bracelet with Turquoise Clasp

This is a 4-strand bracelet connected with antique ruby red mix white hearts. The beads in various shades of red are antique beads called White Hearts. They are named so because of the white core (heart) inside. These beads are from Venice, dating back to the 19th-20th century. The subdued red, particularly the pinkish hue, achieves its color through the use of gold. These are rare beads known as "Kinn-Aka" White Hearts. You can also enjoy White Hearts in different shades, such as deep red and vermilion red, each with its own unique expression. (Size of Kinn-Aka White Hearts: 2-3mm) A slightly larger deep red White Heart bead is featured at the clasp. The golden beads are old Oriya brass. These are old and rare beads from the state of Orissa in India. The small Karen silver beads on the clasp are individually stamped!
