Each mosaic bead in this collection of 17 Himalayan brass beads is handmade and incorporates Turquoise and Coral – resembling a bead locket.
Tribal and ethnic in every sense, these handmade beads have been crafted by the nomadic people of Tibet and Nepal – a group native to the high-altitude regions of the Himalayas.
And there’s no question they can be used to create amazing ethnic-inspired statement jewellery items such as necklaces, bracelets, or an ankle bangle.
These chunky, unusual and highly collectible beads would make a wonderful addition to your jewellery-making box of special beads.
The beads provide lots of potential for creativity for those artisans with a bent on creating amazing Tibetan-inspired ethnic styles or statement jewellery.
The beads are often used as currency when trading for goods.
The 17 beads in this collection weigh in at approximately 42 grams - have been heavily discounted and now work out at $7.00 each.
All our Tibetan and Nepalese beads contain a decent 2-3mm top-drill hole which is suitable for threading with round leather, Tigertail, or craftline (similar to fishing line).
The accompanying photos illustrate what to expect in your order. But please be mindful that from time to time there may be some minor variations depending on availability.
Please also bear in mind many of these beads are not new, nor have they been mass-produced. They are hand-made, contain imperfections, and are aged-worn.
