Hand Made Stylish Olivine Kashmiri Bead – (24mmX12mm)

Description

Olivine Kashmiri Bead

Olivine kashmiri bead artistry reveals itself through layers of meticulous craftsmanship, where seed beads and metallic wire create intricate floral motifs against a rich clay foundation. This particular specimen showcases the traditional lac bead technique perfected by Kashmir valley artisans, who embed each golden flower by hand using time-honoured adhesive methods. The olivine base colour provides an earthy backdrop that allows the metallic accents to catch light beautifully. Each olivine kashmiri bead emerges from this labour-intensive process with its own subtle character variations.

The generous proportions make this 24mm kashmiri bead exceptional for statement necklace centrelines, where its substantial width creates visual weight without overwhelming delicate chain work.
