Indian Silver Strand of Beads

Round pale metallic beads, dented like well-handled pebbles, doubled around in a curve.

This strand of beads is from India. It is coin silver. Silver beads tarnish to a soft gray with time, which is often seen as part of their character. Smooth, rounded beads with pale grey colour and a soft, rubbed finish. Several show small creases or slits near the hole. Two strands lie side by side, with the beads varying slightly in size.

Soft-edged and worn smooth by years of use.
