This collection of nine very rare strands of semi-precious stone beads is a must-have for serious beaders and collectors.
They are perfect to use in very fine and delicate ethnic-style tribal jewellery – inspired by the nomadic people of the Middle East.
This unique collection comprises more than 3000 minuscule jade tube disk cylinders measuring 2x1-3mm, while the strands themselves measure between 13-16 inches.
Each individual bead in this extraordinary blend of rocailles is different from each other.
The collection would make a worthy addition to any beaders collection.
Nine strands of fine tube-shaped green Jade disks – processed in Afghanistan but unearthed in the Himalayan region of Henan in northern China.
Jade has often been referred to as the ‘Imperial Gem’ throughout the far east, and because of the stone’s reverence in Asia throughout the centuries, jade has been used, not only to create many “utilitarian and ceremonial objects, from indoor decorative items to jade burial suits”, it has been used to create some of the finest jewellery.
The entire collection will certainly add to many exciting jewellery prospects – and will become the ideal ingredients to incorporate into your necklaces, bracelets, and earrings.
The collection weighs in at 20 grams.
