It measures 16” to 19” long because it’s adjustable. This is characteristic of traditional East Asian craftsmanship, often identified as coquilla nut, walnut, or fruit pit (Hediao) carvings. These types of beads are frequently used in Chinese court necklaces (mala). Often carved from hard natural materials like the coquilla nut, walnut, or dense fruit seeds (such as peach or olive pits).
