Bracelet with old Indian silver charms, Shan tribe old silver, Karen silver, old Orissa brass & Chin silver, and blue beads

This bracelet is crafted by connecting old Indian silver charms, Shan tribe old silver, Karen silver, old Orissa brass & Chin silver, and blue beads. The ring-shaped Shan tribe old silver and the bun-shaped Karen silver are alternately linked. Each piece of Shan tribe old silver is handmade, giving it an irregular and charming texture. The exact age is unknown, but it carries a well-used, aged patina. (Shan tribe old silver size: diameter 0.3cm, thickness 0.15cm) The indigo blue and blue beads are antique beads known as Indopacific beads. The origins of Indopacific beads are said to date back to the 2nd century BC. These particular beads are excavated artifacts from Indonesia, dating back an astonishing 1000 years to around the 10th century! While they show some scratches, these imperfections contribute to their unique character. The faceted silver beads, interspersed with slightly larger indigo blue beads, are made of extremely rare old Chin silver, dating from the 18th-19th centuries. These pieces originated from Burma. They were used by Chin women for necklaces and other adornments, exhibiting a distinctive wear and endearing marks. Their substantial feel and presence are incomparable to modern silver (though some modern pieces are also stylish...). These antique beads have seen a significant price increase in recent years. The golden beads are old Orissa brass. These antique brass beads from India are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain and are rare finds in recent times. The charm on the clasp is antique Indian silver, crafted between the 19th and early 20th centuries. With frequent wear, it is expected to develop a unique luster. The deity depicted at the center is Lord Shiva. (Size: 1.8cm height, 1.3cm width - including the ring part.) The small beads on the ring part and the clasp are Karen silver. ◇ Karen Silver ◇ This silver is crafted by a mountain ethnic group living in Thai Burma. Each piece is handmade, and it is said to have a very high purity. Connected with waxed cord, it may feel slightly stiff at first but will become supple with wear. Size Length: Approximately 17.5cm (when laid straight) Inner circumference: 16.5cm Materials: Old Indian silver, Shan tribe old silver, Karen silver, old Orissa brass, old Chin silver, waxed cord
