Kashmiri Bead – Model54 (15mmX15mm)

Description

Turquoise Kashmiri Bead

Turquoise kashmiri bead Model 54 showcases the remarkable clay artistry that distinguishes Indonesian beadwork from mass-produced alternatives. Each piece emerges from skilled hands using traditional techniques passed down through generations of craftspeople. The distinctive square silhouette measures precisely 15mm on each side, creating substantial visual weight that anchors designs beautifully. This particular model demonstrates how geometric precision can coexist with organic surface textures that only hand-forming can achieve.

Wire-wrapping becomes particularly striking when these beads serve as central focal points in pendant designs, where their substantial 15mm presence commands attention without overwhelming delicate metalwork. The square edges create natural spacing when strung in linear arrangements, eliminating the need for additional spacer elements. Macramé artists appreciate how the flat surfaces nestle securely within knotwork, preventing rotation that can disrupt pattern consistency.

At 15mm square, these beads photograph beautifully under both natural and artificial lighting, with the turquoise tones shifting from deep sea-green in shadow to brilliant cyan under direct illumination. The matte clay finish reduces glare while maintaining colour saturation, making them particularly suitable for pieces that will be photographed or displayed under varied lighting conditions.
