Bracelet with Kalimantan Antique White Beads, Red and Deep Red White Hearts, Turquoise Blue and Blue Chevron, and Emerald Blue Beads, Turquoise Clasp

This bracelet is crafted by connecting antique white beads from Kalimantan, red and deep red White Hearts, turquoise blue and blue Chevron beads, and emerald blue beads. The red beads are antique White Hearts, distinguished by their white core. The pinkish ones are "Kin-aka" White Hearts, colored with gold. A single deep red bead has been incorporated. These are popular and rare antique beads. Small "Kin-aka" White Hearts adorn the loop of the clasp as well. (White Heart bead size: diameter 0.3-0.4 cm) The white beads are antique beads from Kalimantan, dating back to around the 18th-19th century. They are believed to have originated from Europe. With slight variations in hue, these white beads possess a rich character. The turquoise blue and blue beads are antique Venetian Chevron beads. These feature a four-layer structure. "Chevron" in English means "mountain shape" (in Italian, they are called Rosetta). These beads are considered the nobility of beads, holding significant value and meaning. Turquoise blue Chevron beads, in particular, are rare and difficult to obtain! The golden beads are old Orissa brass, ancient 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 almost unfathomable to think of the meticulous handwork involved... ◇ Karen Silver ◇ This silver is crafted by a hill tribe living in Thailand and Burma. Each piece is handmade, and the silver is said to have a very high purity. The clasp is made of turquoise (turquoise size: diameter 1.2 cm). Connected with waxed cord, the bracelet may feel slightly stiff initially but will become supple with wear. The simple design allows the inherent beauty of the materials to shine through!
