Kashmiri Bead – Model48 (12mmX25mm)

Description

Turquoise Kashmiri Beads

Turquoise kashmiri beads emerge from an ancient tradition where microscopic seed beads transform into dimensional canvases for botanical storytelling. Model 48 showcases this meticulous artform through layers of contrasting elements that create depth beneath each carefully orchestrated floral motif. Kashmir’s master craftspeople embed these tiny components with surgical precision, building textures that catch and reflect light from multiple angles. The elongated silhouette provides ample surface area for the intricate patterns that distinguish authentic pieces from mass-produced alternatives.

• Dimensions: 12mm width x 25mm length elongated oval profile
• Foundation: Turquoise-coloured seed bead base with dimensional overlay
• Construction: Handcrafted floral pattern beads using traditional layering techniques
• Surface: Raised botanical motifs with contrasting accent elements
• Origin: Authentic Kashmir artisan workshops
• Threading: Standard hole accommodates most beading wire gauges

Wire-wrap enthusiasts discover multiple anchor points across the dimensional surface, allowing decorative spirals to follow the natural contours of each botanical motif. The substantial 25mm length creates striking focal points in asymmetrical earring designs, while the proportioned width prevents overwhelming delicate bronze chains or fine cord work. Thread onto leather using quality findings that complement the artisanal finish, or incorporate into multi-strand compositions alongside coordinating neutral-toned seed beads.

The turquoise foundation photographs beautifully under natural lighting conditions, revealing subtle variations in seed bead placement that make each specimen genuinely one-of-a-kind. Surface textures range from matte to semi-lustrous depending on the specific seed bead selection used by individual artisans.
