A Charleston Sterling Silver Charleston Rice Bead Necklace. There are about 5 sterling silver rice beads per inch on this necklace which has a sturdy lobster claw clasp. Beads measure around 3 x 4.5mm. Made in Italy with quality. What is the Charleston Rice Bead? The history of rice in the U.S. started in 1694 when a ship bound for England was forced into Charleston, SC for repairs after a severe hurricane. The Captain gave the governor of the colony a handful of rice grains. From this small amount of seed, Charleston was soon supplying all the colonies with high-quality rice. Thus, the rice bead is a symbol of Southern heritage. The Charleston rice bead necklaces make a great souvenir or gift. The lobster-claw spring action clasp measures 4.5mm wide x 11mm-long by 3mm thick. The length of this necklace is 20 inches (50.08 cm), please see the chart showing the different lengths. Comes in a small cotton-filled silver foil gift box.
