    so- the size (of the largest bead) is...?

     The size is about the size of a small apple.  This is the heaviest piece I own. I wear it only for openings of a few hours.  Similarly the amazing crystal beads I posted that were sold were also as large as this and i had never seen those before either.  These came out at a time when there were other similar things coming but then in limited numbers. they were for sale on the art market in China.  I know where this came from and who it belonged to from the Han period but would rather not say.
