Description

Kashmiri Drum Beads

Kashmiri drum beads create striking focal points in jewellery with their distinctive cylindrical silhouette and traditional colour palette. These authentic specimens showcase the deep contrast of black backgrounds punctuated by vibrant turquoise motifs, all enhanced with delicate silver lining that catches light beautifully. Each piece demonstrates the masterful artistry passed down through generations of Kashmir’s skilled craftspeople. The substantial proportions make these beads natural centrepieces for statement necklaces and bold bracelet designs.

• Dimensions measure 15mm width by 20mm length
• Features traditional black and turquoise colouring with silver accents
• Handcrafted by authentic Kashmiri artisans using time-honoured techniques
• Black turquoise kashmiri beads display intricate pattern work unique to each piece
• Drum shape provides visual weight and presence in finished designs
• Handcrafted drum beads offer authentic cultural heritage in every bead

The generous 20mm length makes these beads exceptional for graduated necklace designs where they serve as dramatic central elements between smaller accent stones. Their substantial size works beautifully in bohemian-style earrings paired with bronze chain elements or suspended from lever-back findings for comfortable wear. Macramé artists incorporate these into wall hangings and plant hangers where the drum shape creates interesting geometric interruptions in knotwork patterns.

The silver lining creates subtle metallic highlights that photograph beautifully in natural lighting, while indoor settings emphasise the rich depth of the black base colour against the turquoise detailing.
