Bracelet with Endless Knot, Ancient Agate, Mizoram Carnelian, Old Tibetan Turquoise, Blood Red White Hearts, and Jet Beads

This is a double-strand bracelet featuring an endless knot, ancient agate, Mizoram carnelian, old Tibetan turquoise, blood red white heart beads, and jet beads. The endless knot is a motif from Tibetan Buddhism, symbolizing eternal connection. The metal's wear marks add a cool, aged aesthetic. While not ancient, it has a worn, atmospheric feel with a very intricate, openwork design. It's hollow inside, making it lightweight. This is a deadstock item, delivered from Tibet! (Endless Knot Size: 1.1cm W x 0.9cm H) The beads with beautiful striations are ancient agate from Afghanistan, dating back over 1200 years. The grey, ivory, and black patterns are truly exquisite, offering a wonderfully seasoned appearance! (Ancient Agate Size: 0.65cm W x 0.8cm Diameter) The orange beads are Mizoram carnelian, heirloom pieces from the Mizoram state in eastern India, circa the 18th century. Their deep orange hue, reminiscent of ripe fruit, is captivating! Although there are minor imperfections, they contribute to the beads' profound character. (Mizoram Carnelian Size: 0.5cm W x 0.55cm Diameter) Old Tibetan turquoise pieces are approximately 100-200 years old (possibly older). These were acquired from a collector who sourced them directly in Tibet. Turquoise is also known as a "Fallen Skystone," believed to have originated from the heavens. Since ancient times, it has been revered as an amulet and a sacred stone across various cultures. In Tibet, it's used as a protective charm and occasionally for medicinal purposes, representing one of the stones passed down through millennia. These are natural turquoise, without any coating. The slim shape is charming, and the subdued green is beautifully displayed on these small beads. (Turquoise Size: 1cm W x 0.6cm H x 0.3cm D) The red beads are antique beads known as White Hearts, named for their white core. These are Venetian beads from the 19th-20th century. The deep red ones are referred to as "blood red." The jet-black beads are also antique Venetian beads (19th-20th century). Each bead possesses a unique shape and size, contributing to its distinct character. The small golden beads and the charm next to the ancient agate are made of old Orissan brass, rare beads originating from the state of Odisha in India. The round charm near the clasp is also old Indian brass. The very small silver beads between the main stones, the bead shaped like a small bun, and the clasp are Karen silver. ◇ Karen Silver ◇ This silver is crafted by the hill tribes inhabiting the Thai-Burmese border. Each piece is handmade, and the silver is said to have a very high purity. This bracelet is a fusion of materials from various countries and eras. The design gains character when twisted. Connected with waxed cord, it may feel slightly stiff initially but will soften with wear. * Size and design modifications are possible, so please feel free to inquire!
