Description from the seller

This is a Nepalese Himalayan white crystal egg-shaped bead necklace.

Shape: The beads are cut in an egg shape (oval drum shape). Each bead is uniform in size but retains the slight irregularity of natural minerals (not the rigid uniformity of mass-produced stones). Each bead varies in size, approximately 15-20mm in diameter, a relatively full size.

Typical Himalayan white crystal texture—high transparency + natural "cotton-like inclusions": The crystal is generally clear, but fine, cloud-like inclusions and ice cracks are visible inside (natural signs of age in old crystals, not flaws). Some beads also contain long, thin, hair-like inclusions. Under light, they emit a soft halo, not the harsh artificial high transparency.

Craftsmanship: The beads are hand-polished. The holes appear to be large holes from traditional craftsmanship (facilitating stringing and adding an antique feel). The beads are strung with a moderate tightness, allowing them to drape naturally when worn.

It features a retro Nepalese ethnic style combined with the texture of natural minerals. It has both the "sacredness" of Himalayan crystal and the sense of vicissitudes of old objects, making it a niche accessory with a story.
