Description

Each piece of these Tibetan beads has alternating inlays of bands of Turquoise composite and Red Coral resin, and brass. The ones shown above are teardrop in shape.

In decorative work such as jewellery making, inlay means embedding another material, like gold, to say stainless steel. Traditionally, a portion of the stainless steel is cut out so that the gold is set flush with the metal's surface.

Tibetan inlaid beads come in different sizes, shapes, materials, and designs. The one showcased here is just one of them. They don’t come with chains attached, making them quite versatile for your design intent.
