This elegant cinnabar bead would make a perfect pendant with just a simple headpin run through it, looping at the top! The path of the pendant is from left to right in our photo, but would more appropriately be worn lengthwise. Each bead is hand made in the modern tradition of cinnabar, evoking the spirit of centuries-past Asian artisans' work.
The symbol centered in the lovely bead is the Chinese character for Longevity, a pertinent wish for each of us and those we love.
