Product Details

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. Strands and colors may vary slightly from photo. 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.

Fulfilling my dream of Roman glass

I've longed for some Roman glass for 15 years or more, but it has always been beyond my reach. I'm so happy to have these beads! Their colors and sheen are beautiful. I wish I knew more about them, their specific origin, how they were made, etc. -- and how old they really are, because it's hard to believe that I can actually afford to own something made a couple of thousand years ago.. But I love them, whatever their provenance!

So Fun!

I ordered these beads to make "DNA" necklaces for my family. These beads exceeded my expectations, and after the holidays, I expect I will be back for more!
