Kashmiri Bead – Model34 (15mmX22mm)

Description

Oval Kashmiri Beads

Oval kashmiri beads showcase the traditional papier-mâché artistry that has defined Kashmir’s craft heritage for centuries. The turquoise base colour radiates warmth while maintaining the subtle texture variations that make each piece genuinely one-of-a-kind. These beads demonstrate why authentic Kashmiri work remains sought after – the clay foundation provides structural integrity while allowing artisans to embed decorative elements seamlessly. Each oval kashmiri beads carries the fingerprint of its maker through slight variations in the seed bead placement and colour depth.

• Dimensions measure 15mm width by 22mm length with generous threading holes
• Authentic papier-mâché construction with lacquered protective finish
• Small seed beads create raised textural patterns across the surface
• Rich turquoise handcrafted beads 15mm exhibit natural colour variations
• Each authentic kashmiri oval beads displays unique artisan characteristics
• Traditional Kashmir valley techniques passed down through generations

The elongated oval shape works beautifully as statement pieces in chunky necklaces where their 22mm length creates visual weight without overwhelming smaller features. Wire-wrapped pendants showcase the seed bead detailing particularly well, while the substantial size makes them anchor points in bronze chain designs. Consider spacing them with smaller complementary beads rather than clustering together – their individual character deserves room to breathe in finished pieces.

The lacquered surface resists moisture but benefits from gentle handling during stringing. Thread with flexible beading wire rather than stiff materials that might stress the papier-mâché core. At 15mm x 22mm, these sit comfortably in most standard jewelry proportions while providing enough presence to anchor mixed-media designs effectively.
