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 bracelets makes a great souvenir or gift. Comes in a silver foil gift box. The lobster-claw spring action clasp measures 4.5mm wide x 11mm-long by 3mm thick.
