Bracelet with Antique Chrome Orange Whiteheart, Tibetan Turquoise, Gold-Red, Deep Red & Vermilion Whiteheart, and Turquoise Blue Chevron Beads

A bracelet crafted from Antique Chrome Orange Whiteheart, Tibetan Turquoise, Gold-Red & Deep Red & Vermilion Whiteheart, and Turquoise Blue Chevron beads. The chrome orange beads are antique "Whiteheart" beads, named for their white core. These Venetian beads date back to the 19th-20th century. The rare "gold-red" Whitehearts achieve their color through the use of gold, making them exceptionally scarce. A small gold-red Whiteheart bead is also incorporated into the clasp ring. Deep red and vermilion Whiteheart beads further enhance the design. (Whiteheart bead size: 4mm) The small disc-shaped turquoise beads, while not antique, are genuine Tibetan turquoise with a beautiful green hue. The turquoise blue beads are antique Venetian "Chevron" beads, characterized by their unique four-layer construction. In Italy, Chevron beads are known as "Rosetta," and they are considered the "nobility" of beads due to their expense and significant meaning. Turquoise blue Chevron beads, in particular, are rare and difficult to acquire. A gold-red Whiteheart bead adorns the clasp ring. The golden beads are old Orissan brass, rare beads from the Indian state of Odisha. The charm near the clasp is also antique brass from India. Each tiny Karen silver bead near the clasp is individually stamped. The meticulous handcrafting involved is truly astounding. ◇Karen Silver◇ This silver is crafted by a hill tribe residing in Thai Burma. Each piece is handmade, and the silver is said to be of very high purity. The clasp itself is made of turquoise (Turquoise size: 1.2cm diameter). Connected with waxed cord, the bracelet will initially feel somewhat stiff but will become supple with wear.
