  • These vintage Indian 18k gold beads are priced and sold individually
  • These classic, collared oval beads are 12x6mm
  • I know there won't be a huge market for these beads, but they are here for you when you have the right gems to go with them, the right friend or customer with the right occasion, or the right moment to celebrate and reward yourself.
  • In India 22k gold (91.7% gold) is preferred, but there are also reasons to use 18k
  • 18k (75% gold) is best when more durability is needed, for example when setting stones, for clasps, and for beads and jewelry that can withstand the rigors of being worn daily, rather than just for ceremonies and special events.
  • In India gold is associated with goddess Laksmi and symbolizes prosperity, wealth, good fortune and general auspiciousness.
  • Gold jewelry is very important in Indian wedding ceremonies, and is passed down through families, although the jewelry designs may be reworked, and change from generation to generation.
