Kashmiri beads are handmade traditional Indian beads, they are made of resin (polymer clay type) the beads are decorated with glass beads, sequins and small brass components.  Kashmiri beads have a very interesting and exotic look all of their own, and because they are handmade each bead is individual - each one is a work of art.  A Kashmiri bead on it's own is enough to make a statement.
