Antique Gold-Red Whiteheart and Turquoise Blue & Blue Chevron Bracelet with Turquoise Clasp

This bracelet connects antique gold-red whiteheart beads with a single turquoise blue chevron bead. The deep red beads are whitehearts, named for their white core. This piece features gold-red whitehearts, where the color is achieved through gold infusion, making them a popular and rare antique bead. Small gold-red whitehearts also adorn the loop of the clasp. (Gold-red whiteheart size: diameter 0.3-0.4 cm) The turquoise blue and blue beads are antique Venetian chevron beads. These have a distinctive four-layer structure. The word "chevron" in English means "mountain shape" (in Italian, it's "rosetta"). Revered as the "aristocrat of beads," they hold significant value and meaning. Turquoise blue chevron beads, in particular, are exceptionally rare and difficult to find! The golden beads are old Orissan brass, ancient and scarce beads sourced from the Orissan region of India. The charm near the clasp is also old brass, originating from India. Each small Karen silver bead near the clasp is individually stamped! It's humbling to think of the meticulous handcraft involved... ◇ Karen Silver ◇ This silver is crafted by a hill tribe residing in Thai Burma. Each piece is handmade, and the silver is said to have a very high purity. The clasp is made of turquoise.
