Bracelet with Old Tibetan Turquoise, Ancient Agate, Old Chin Silver, and Blood Red & Golden Red White Heart Beads

This bracelet is crafted by linking old Tibetan turquoise, ancient agate, old Chin silver, and old Orissa brass with blood red and golden red white heart beads. The old Tibetan turquoise dates back approximately 100 to 200 years, possibly even older. It was acquired from an individual who sourced it directly from Tibet. Turquoise is also known as the "Fallen Skystone" and has been revered as an amulet and sacred stone across various cultures since ancient times. In Tibet, it is used as a protective charm and sometimes medicinally. It is one of the stones passed down and worn for thousands of years. This is natural turquoise, without any coating, showcasing truly beautiful web-like patterns. (Turquoise size: Width 0.9cm, Height 0.8cm, Thickness 0.5cm) A small piece of ancient agate has been incorporated. This agate was unearthed in regions like Pakistan and India, along the Indus River basin, and is approximately 2000 years old. Its pleasing white hue is beautifully contrasted by black stripes. Despite minor age-related wear, it possesses a wonderfully atmospheric quality. The red beads are antique Venetian beads known as White Hearts, dating from the 19th to 20th centuries. They are called White Hearts because of their white core. These beads exhibit a deep hue that could be described as blood red. As if from use, each White Heart bead has a pleasingly worn texture, lending them a remarkably cool character. The lighter-colored beads are golden red White Hearts, possessing a hue that hints at orange or vermilion. A few purple beads are also included. Nestled amidst the White Hearts are multi-faceted silver beads, crafted from exceptionally rare old Chin silver. These are heirloom pieces from around the 18th to 19th century, originating from Burma. Used by Chin women in necklaces and other adornments, they bear a unique patina and endearing signs of age. Their weight and presence are unparalleled compared to modern silver, though beautiful modern pieces do exist. These beads have become increasingly sought after and costly in recent years. The beads with a dull golden sheen are old Orissa brass, antique brass beads from India. These are incredibly scarce and difficult to find today. The charm near the clasp is also an antique piece from India. Each small bead of Karen silver near the clasp is individually stamped! ◇ Karen Silver ◇ This silver is crafted by a mountain ethnic group residing in Thai Burma. Each piece is handmade and said to be of very high purity. The bracelet is strung with two strands of waxed cord. While it may feel slightly stiff initially, it will become softer and more pliable with wear. Size adjustments are possible, so please feel free to inquire.
