Afghan Intaglio Bead Bracelet (19.5cm Length)

These are not ancient Persian Sasanian intaglio beads, dating back over a thousand years, that typically command prices in the thousands or tens of thousands. These intaglio beads originate from the Afghanistan region. They are crafted from ancient agate beads sourced from riverbeds millions of years old. The patterns are carved using traditional techniques, akin to ancient jade carving methods. While often referred to in the market as "newly carved old beads," they possess a considerable age. The spacer beads are made of strongly magnetic hematite beads (not Grade 3 Leklai from Thailand). If you wear an automatic mechanical watch, please avoid wearing this bracelet simultaneously as the magnetic force can affect the watch's mechanism. However, quartz watches, common electronic watches, and smartwatches are not affected. The bracelet measures 19.5cm in length. ************************* Ancient beads originally held significant religious, protective, and practical meanings. During challenging times, wearing protective ancient beads can help regulate one's energy field and enhance good fortune. Regularly reciting scriptures, chanting mantras, practicing generosity, and releasing captive animals will naturally lead to turning misfortune into good luck.
