Description
- These beads are priced and sold by the set of 12
- Himalayan Chank shell beads, cream/ivory color, oblates mostly 10x12mm, but some larger beads up to 10x13 may be included in sets.
- These rounded shell beads were worn in Ladakh and other Tibetan-populated areas of the Himalayas.
- They were made between 70 to over 100 years ago, probably by the same South Indian shell cutters who made the Naga shell beads and ornaments.
- This ensures they'll also work well with the Naga elongated and round beads and pendants. The holes are large enough for 2mm leather.
- Their warm ivory/cream color also pairs nicely with wood or amber, brass, copper, and some gemstones, especially those warm tones, like carneliand and those with matte finish
