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.
