What are Tibetan silver beads? In fact, Tibetan silver is an elegant name
of alloy---copper-nickel alloy or so-called pewter. Traditional Tibetan silver
beads contain thirty percent of silver and seventy percent of copper. As the silver
content is too low, so almost all the Tibetan silver beads on market are
replaced by copper-nickel alloy completely now. Tibetan silver beads are very
popular for the moment, and Pandora style Tibetan beads and jewelry charms are
the most popular.
When we talk about Tibetan beads jewelry, most people will think they are
from Tibet which is misled by its name "Tibetan Silver". Actually,
Tibetan beads jewelries also can be made from some other places. As Tibetan
silver beads contain other metals, the hardness is higher than sterling silver,
and can be craved patterns on them, even some complicated patterns. They are
always inlaid with real turquoise and red coral, and worth to be collected.
To some extent, Tibetan beads also convey a traditional cultural tint of
Tibet. That is why the Tibetan jewelries look more mysterious and exotic. A
quick look around the market, you will find plentiful Tibetan beads, Tibetan
charms, Tibetan pendants, Tibetan toggles & Tars, Tibetan beads and some
others in different colors, designs and sizes. They can be mixed and matched
with other materials to make necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. There are also
many Tibetan bookmarks which are very popular nowadays.
