Kashmiri Bead – Model42 (14mmX20mm)

Description

Black Kashmiri Drum Beads

Black kashmiri drum beads showcase the masterful artistry of traditional bead-making techniques passed down through generations of skilled craftspeople. The deep ebony base provides a dramatic canvas for the intricate silver floral motifs that dance across each surface, creating visual depth through the interplay of light and shadow. These authentic pieces demonstrate how polymer clay becomes transformed through careful hand-sculpting and precise metallic detailing. The substantial weight and smooth finish reveal the quality that comes from time-honoured methods rather than mass production.

• Dimensions: 14mm diameter x 20mm length drum shape
• Deep black polymer base with raised silver floral patterns
• Each silver floral pattern bead displays unique artisan variations
• Smooth, polished surface with consistent hole threading
• Individually shaped by hand using traditional techniques
• Generous threading holes accommodate most beading wire gauges

The substantial 20mm length makes these drum beads natural focal points in statement necklaces where their cylindrical profile creates interesting geometric contrast against round elements. Their dramatic black and silver colouring anchors autumn palette designs while the 14mm handcrafted drum beads work beautifully as spacers between larger gemstone rounds in graduated designs. Consider threading them horizontally in bronze chain segments for industrial-chic layering pieces where the metallic elements echo and amplify each other.

At 14mm diameter, these beads sit comfortably as statement pieces without overwhelming delicate facial features, while the 20mm length provides enough surface area for the silver floral details to be clearly appreciated from normal viewing distances.
