Kashmiri Bead – Model14 (12mm X 12mm)

Description

Multicolour Kashmiri Model14

Multicolour kashmiri model14 beads showcase the intricate metalwork tradition of Indonesian artisans, where silver metal studs are carefully embedded into polymer clay bases during the firing process. This creates a permanent bond that won’t chip or fade, unlike painted alternatives. The random multicolour patterns emerge from the artisan’s individual technique, making each bead subtly unique while maintaining the characteristic model14 oval profile.

• Oval dimensions measure 12mm x 12mm with consistent proportions
• Generous 4mm threading hole accommodates thick cords and multiple passes
• Silver metal studs create raised textural elements across the surface
• Indonesian polymer clay base provides lightweight durability
• Multicolour palette includes warm earth tones with metallic accents
• Model14 designation indicates this specific oval profile with medium stud density

These 12mm oval kashmiri beads anchor focal arrangements in chunky statement necklaces, where their substantial presence balances oversized pendants without overwhelming delicate chain links. The 4mm hole readily accepts leather thonging for bohemian-style bracelets, while the silver studded kashmiri beads add textural contrast when paired with smooth gemstone rounds in agate collections. Wire workers thread them onto beading wire as accent spacers between larger focal elements.

The oval profile sits naturally against the wrist or neckline without creating pressure points, while the raised silver studs catch ambient light to create subtle sparkle without overwhelming neighbouring elements in mixed-media compositions.
