Bracelet with Assorted Blue Antique White Heart and Chevron Beads, Turquoise Clasp

A bracelet crafted by connecting assorted blue antique white heart beads, chevron beads, and more. The cylindrical beads in various shades of blue are antique beads known as White Hearts. They are named so because of the white core (heart) visible within. These beads originate from Venice, dating back to the 19th-20th centuries. You can enjoy a spectrum of vibrant blues and turquoise blues. Blue-toned White Hearts are rare and highly sought-after beads. Included are even rarer varieties with striped patterns. The deep red beads are Gold-Red White Hearts, colored using gold. The turquoise blue beads are antique Venetian beads called Chevron. These feature a unique four-layer structure. The term "Chevron" in English means "mountain shape" (in Italian, they are called Rosetta). These beads are considered the "nobility" of beads, holding significant value and meaning. Turquoise blue Chevron beads, in particular, are exceptionally rare and difficult to obtain! Blue Chevron beads have also been incorporated. The semi-transparent beads, one placed near the clasp and others interspersed throughout the bracelet, are Indo-Pacific beads. The origins of Indo-Pacific beads are said to date back to the 2nd century BC. These particular beads are archaeological finds from Indonesia, dating back an astonishing 1000 years to around the 10th century! The golden beads and the anchor-like charm next to the ancient agate bead are made of old Orissa brass. These are old and rare beads from the state of Orissa in India. The charm near the clasp is also old brass sourced from India. Each small Karen silver bead near the clasp is individually stamped! The thought of each one being meticulously handcrafted is truly awe-inspiring... ◇ Karen Silver ◇ This silver is crafted by a mountain ethnic group living in Thailand and Burma.
