Description

“Sterling silver rice bead bracelets are beautiful bracelets to wear on any occasion. Comfortable and simple design with striking elegance. The beads measure 4x6mm, also known as 400 gauge. There are about 3.5 sterling silver rice beads per inch on this Italian-made sturdy bracelet for children, teens and women. The beads are strung on a sterling stopper-chain, so the beads turn but do not slide up or down. This makes for a comfortable bracelet that can be worn under or over the sleeve and can be worn with other bracelets. The lobster-claw spring action clasp on this rice bead bracelet measures 4.5mm wide x 12mm-long by 3mm thick. What is sterling silver? Sterling Silver is a metal alloy containing 92.5% silver by weight, and the remaining 7.5% typically consists of other metals, usually copper. Sterling silver is favored for jewelry-making because of its
shine, durability, and malleability. Over time, sterling silver may tarnish, so we coat our bracelets with an invisible anti-tarnish finishing. As usual sterling silver can be easily cleaned and polished to restore its original luster.
Why are they called rice beads?
Rice beads are elongated beads that somewhat resemble the shape of short-grain rice. Their elongated oval shape offers a unique look that is different from regular round beads. There is a unique story behind the Rice Bead as well. The history of Rice bead in the U.S. started in 1694 when a ship bound for England was forced into Charleston, SC for repairs after a severe hurricane. The captain gave the governor of the colony a handful of rice grains. From this small quantity of seeds, Charleston was soon supplying all the colonies with high quality rice. Thus, the rice bead is also a symbol of Southern heritage. The Charleston rice bead bracelet, anklet or necklace, makes a great souvenir or gift.
Wearing & Styling:
Sterling silver rice bead bracelets can be worn singularly for a minimalistic look or layered with other bracelets for a more bohemian or trendy style. The shiny silver complements various skin tones and can be paired with both casual and formal attire. Over time, due to the natural tarnishing
process of sterling silver, the rice bead bracelet may take on a more vintage or antique look, which
can be quite charming to some wearers. Alternatively, it can be polished with a treated polishing cloth to bring back its original shine.
Care:
To prolong the life of your rice bead bracelet and prevent tarnishing, it’s advisable to avoid exposing it to harsh chemicals, salty water, and extreme temperatures. It’s also a good idea to store it in a jewelry box or pouch when not in use. Rest assured that with the sterling silver rice bead bracelets, anklets or necklaces, you’re purchasing a versatile piece of jewelry. A piece of jewelry that combines the luxurious appeal of sterling silver with the unique elegant rice bead design.
***Instructions for choosing the correct rice bead bracelet length:
Note that the sterling silver rice bead bracelet comes in 5 different lengths. Please see the chart showing the different lengths. The 6-inch is normally for younger children, the 6.5-inch for older girls, petite women and teenagers, the 7-inch for average women and the 7.5 and 8-inch for heavier set women. Measure the circumference of your wrist if you’re not sure how many inches you need. This measurement will tell you what length to purchase.***”
