Hand Made Stylish Beaded Red Kashmiri Bead – (16mmX18mm)

Description

Red Kashmiri Beads

Red kashmiri beads showcase the intricate artistry of traditional Sri Nagar craftwork through their meticulous seed bead application technique. Each bead emerges from a painstaking process where skilled artisans hand-place individual seed beads onto a clay foundation using wire reinforcement and specialised adhesives. This centuries-old method produces beads with distinctive textural surfaces that catch light from multiple angles, creating depth impossible to achieve through machine production. The crimson base colour provides a rich canvas for the overlaid beadwork patterns.

• Dimensions: 16mm length x 18mm width with generous proportions for statement pieces
• Clay base construction with seed bead overlay creates raised textural patterns
• 2mm threading hole accommodates most standard beading cords and wires
• Individual handmade lac beads ensure each piece carries unique artistic variations
• Traditional Kashmiri craftsmanship using time-honoured wire reinforcement techniques
• Deep red colouration with subtle tonal variations from the handcrafting process

This substantial bead transforms into dramatic focal points in chunky statement necklaces where its generous proportions command attention, while the 2mm hole easily threads onto leather cord for bohemian-style pendants. Wire workers appreciate how the raised seed bead texture grips against wrapping wires, preventing slippage during intricate cage designs. Cultural jewellery enthusiasts incorporate these into traditional South Asian inspired pieces alongside carnelian chips and gold accents for authentic colour palettes.

The deep crimson tone shifts between burgundy and bright red depending on lighting conditions, with the raised seed bead work creating subtle shadow play across the surface that photographs beautifully in both natural daylight and warm indoor lighting.
