Admire this unique strand of beads made from ancient glass pieces found in the region along the historic silk road. Commonly referred to as Roman Glass, the material for these beads is derived from ancient cups, vases, and perfume containers that have sustained the travails of time. The glass pieces have been carefully cut, drilled, and strung together but you can see still the variation in color of the ancient glass. No two strands are alike but you will receive a strand similar to that pictured. These little beads are highly versatile and can be used as both spacers and accent beads. Truly something special to use in any jewelry design. Multiple strands pictured. Each strand is sold individually. You will receive a full 15" strand. Note that while the material is said to be of old, possibly ancient origin, the precise age of the glass has not been independently verified.

    Unique and Historic beads

    I love these one of a kind beads made from glass made long ago. Great size for incorporating into jewelry. Nice muted colors of blue and green!

    beautiful and delicate!

    I wanted to make a simple, single-strand layering necklace in soft aqua tones - these turned out to be exactly what I was looking for. The diameter of the beads is smaller than other 4mm beads I have - they're quite petite, and the width ranges from 1-3mm. Gorgeous hues and depth. Excellent for a breezy summertime layering piece. I added 1.5mm lapis lazuli beads as spacers to add length for a necklace that's about 20" altogether.

    Fabulous detail

    The roughed matte surfaces, wide variety of shades, and combination of visual lightness from their translucence with substantial visual weight in the wide band for such small beads will make these a really complex and elegant touch in the earthy design I plan. Super exciting that they have so much of a statement look in a small size.
