Necklace - Crystal - Nepal - second half 20th century

This oval crystal necklace is crafted from natural old crystal from Nepal. The beads retain the crystal's natural form, lacking a uniform, regular pattern, showcasing a natural, unrestrained beauty. Transparency: The overall clarity is relatively high, though some natural inclusions such as ice cracks and cotton can be seen within. This is a typical characteristic of natural crystal and somewhat impacts its translucency. Color: While not completely colorless and transparent, the bracelet has a subtle tea hue, similar to smoky quartz, but not as rich. This hue lends the bracelet a rustic charm. Shape: The beads are custom-polished, varying in shape without excessive carving or modification, preserving some of the original form of the crystal, adding to its natural, rugged beauty. In the field of antiques and miscellaneous items, natural old crystal from Nepal holds considerable collectible value. Nepal is a region with a strong Buddhist culture, and crystal holds special significance in religious culture, often used in religious instruments and jewelry. This aged crystal bracelet carries the local history and culture, and its natural form and the marks left by time have attracted many collectors. The beads range in size from a maximum of 20x32 mm to a minimum of 19x28 mm.
