A Bracelet of Round Ancient Crystal, Crimson White Hearts, Old Tibetan Silver and Orissa Brass

This bracelet connects round ancient crystals with crimson white hearts, old Tibetan silver, and Orissa brass. The perfectly round ancient crystals hail from Pakistan, dating back approximately 1500 years to the Roman era. They possess a warm, frosted-like appearance. While showing signs of age, these imperfections contribute to their profound charm. (Ancient Crystal Size: 0.6cm width, 0.7cm diameter) The deep red beads are antique "White Heart" beads, named for their white core. These are Venetian beads from around the 19th-20th century. Their rich crimson hue comes from the use of gold in the coloring process, making them rare "Crimson White Hearts." (Crimson White Heart Size: 3.5-4mm) The壺-shaped (pot-shaped) components sandwiching the old Tibetan turquoise are crafted from old Tibetan silver. These are heirloom pieces from the 18th-19th century, originating from Burma. Traditionally used by the Chin people in necklaces, they exhibit unique wear marks and endearing scratches. Their substantial feel and presence are incomparable to modern silver (though some modern pieces are also striking...). These beads are exceptionally rare and quite precious! The anchor-like charm next to the golden beads and old Tibetan turquoise is old Orissa brass, rare beads from the Orissa region of India. The bell-shaped component near the clasp is old silver from India, also a rare find. The slightly bent clasp and the beads on the loop are Karen silver. Each tiny Karen silver bead on the clasp is individually stamped! The thought of each being hand-crafted is truly humbling... ◇ Karen Silver ◇ This silver is made by a hill tribe living in Thailand and Burma. It is meticulously handcrafted and said to have very high purity. Connected with waxed cord, it may feel a bit stiff initially but will become supple with wear. This bracelet, perfect for layering, allows you to enjoy a collection of rare beads.
