Noh Mask Bead

Behind every mask, a story waiting to be told.

Inspired by the ancient art of Noh theatre, one of Japan's most revered classical traditions, this sterling silver bead captures the iconic mask in beautifully intricate detail. Performed since the 14th century and characterised by slow, deliberate elegance, Noh is a tradition unlike any other. Created exclusively for the Trollbeads World Tour in Japan, it is a deeply meaningful and collectible keepsake.

This bead is suitable for bracelets, bangles, and necklaces. 

Crafted with precision from high-quality 925 Sterling Silver, we use a 3,000-year-old technique called ‘cire perdu’ or ‘lost wax’ which allows for finer details to be displayed. Each bead then goes through an oxidization process to create contrast effects and to give them character. Finally, each bead is hand-polished.
