Tibetan Mountain Coral Brass-Capped Beads (2 Beads)
Classic Tibetan Mountain Coral Beads with Brass End Caps - Set of 2 Beads. Tibetans love coral and use it profusely in jewelry-making and other ornaments.
Although some coral remains from ancient times when it was an ocean floor, the Tibetan Plateau is now land-locked, so true coral is scarce.
Himalayans therefore created "Mountain Coral" from local stones with a look remarkably similar to real coral. These contemporary Mountain Coral beads were handcrafted in Nepal. Price is for 2 beads.
Measurements:
Size each bead = 14mm x 10mm (0.55 inch x 0.4 inch)
Weight per bead = 1.5 grams (.05 oz)
Material = Agate; Brass
