Antique Whiteheart Mix Beads and Turquoise Blue Chevron Beads Bracelet with Turquoise Clasp

This is a bracelet made by connecting antique Whiteheart mix beads and turquoise blue chevron beads. The deep red beads are antique beads called Whitehearts. They are named this because the core (heart) part is white. These are beads from Venice, dating from around the 19th to 20th century. (Diameter: 0.4cm, Length: 0.35-0.45cm) The yellow and golden yellow beads were included in the strands that were connected to the Whitehearts. These are also antique Venetian beads. The Whiteheart mix beads were made in Venice and then traveled to Africa or Southeast Asia. Small Whitehearts have also been added to the ring part of the clasp. The turquoise blue beads near the clasp are antique Venetian beads called Chevron. These have a four-layer structure. Chevron beads mean "chevron" in English. (In Italian, they are called Rosetta.) They are considered the "nobility" of beads, holding significant value and importance. Turquoise blue Chevron beads, in particular, are rare and difficult to find!! The golden beads are 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 from India. Each small Karen silver bead on the clasp is individually stamped! It's hard to fathom that all of this is done by hand... ◇Karen Silver◇ This is silver crafted by the hill tribes living in Thai Burma. Each piece is handmade, and it is said to be of very high purity. The clasp is made of turquoise. (Turquoise size: Diameter 1.2cm) They are strung with waxed cord, so they may feel a bit stiff at first, but they will become more supple with wear. This bracelet allows you to enjoy the vibrant colors unique to Venetian beads and the distinctive charm of antique beads.
