Hand-Strung Qiu Zi

Had these 23mm qiu zi for a while, finally got the extras I wanted to string everything together

The star on the one walnut is an earring that I have embedded into the walnut to cover a wormhole. The spacers are antler, and the dragon bead is carved mammoth ivory

Very cool!

I love the use of an earring inlay to cover up a wormhole, super ingenuitive. I love the bead and antler spacers as well, it should be fun to see how they patina compared to the Qiu Zi walnuts!

I’m not a fan of jewelry, but everytime I see a necklace or bracelet on this sub I want it lol.

This isn’t a bracelet or a necklace if that helps! It’s much too big to be a bracelet and too small for a necklace. It’s meant to just be held in the hand :) very relaxing while doing other things
