Oval Artistic Kashmiri Bead – Model 21 (12mm X 25mm)

Description

Teardrop Kashmiri Beads

Teardrop kashmiri beads command attention with their dramatic cone silhouette and intricate surface decoration. Each artisan-crafted piece displays golden silver metal detailing that catches light beautifully, while vibrant red and turquoise patterns dance across the deep black base. The substantial weight and smooth finish speak to the meticulous hand-application process used by Kashmir region craftsmen. These teardrop Kashmiri beads feel substantial in the hand, with their tapered form creating natural movement when suspended.

• Dimensions: 12mm diameter x 25mm length in distinctive cone shape
• Generous 4mm threading hole accommodates multiple cord passes
• Golden silver metal wire work applied over traditional clay base
• Rich turquoise and crimson red seed bead inlays create striking contrast
• Deep black foundation provides dramatic backdrop for metallic accents
• Individual craftsmanship ensures each bead carries unique character variations

The elongated cone profile makes these exceptional statement pieces for pendant necklaces where the teardrop shape creates natural focal points. Their generous hole diameter easily accepts leather cord or multiple strands of beading wire for layered designs. Consider spacing these along chunky chain links for bohemian-inspired statement pieces, or use singly as dramatic drops beneath geometric metal components.

The golden silver metal detailing photographs beautifully under warm lighting, where it takes on honeyed tones that complement both the turquoise’s cool blue-green and the red’s warm intensity. This interplay makes them particularly striking in mixed-metal designs where copper and brass elements can bridge the colour temperature gap.
