South asian burmese old pumtek petrified wood beads long strand 12-18mm

While most beads are presented as modern reproductions, this one is an old vintage to antique Burmese pumtek strand with natural age and use. These carved stone pieces come from Myanmar and are described as Pyu/Samon Valley beads, with each strand selected from the available stock or chosen by request. The strand is made up of 12-18mm big size beads and has the character of a true heirloom piece.

This old pumtek petrified wood strand shows moderate signs of age and wear, which is part of its history and appeal. The bead quality reflects the Burmese petrified wood tradition and the rare, ancient-to-present-day style associated with pumtek.

These Burmese bead jewelry pieces are known for their distinctive look, their cultural background, and their presence in both antique and vintage collections. The strand may be used for jewelry making or kept as a collectible display piece, depending on your project or collection needs.
