Every color at once, the way the bazaar piles them by the cupful.
Disc after disc of saturated glass in red, cobalt, saffron, jade, and white: the cheerful workhorse beads of the Himalayan trade, hand-worked with the slight variations that keep the strand alive. Wear it when the outfit, or the day, needs every color at once.
Meaning: Trade glass is the traveler's bead: color carried along old bazaar routes, worn for pure joy.
Scent: None. Glass is scentless.
Feel: Cool, smooth discs in a carnival of weights. Light and chatty on the cord.
Care: Glass. Mild soap and water if needed. Dry cloth.
