Product Details

Take a moment to appreciate the true artistry of these Afghani Glass Beads. These alluring beads are said to be very old and are made by using pieces of antique Afghani Bangles, also sometimes identified as Roman Glass. Each bead has its own unique story to tell. These beads have a striking weathered look to them and can make for a great accent piece in your original jewelry designs. These glass bead strands even look great when worn as a simple necklace. Each bead strand is about 25" in length. Each individual bead is approximately 5-20 x 4-11mm and roughly has a 2mm bead stringing hole. Multiple strands pictured. Each strand sold individually. Each strand is unique and bead tones and shapes vary from strand to strand. Grab a strand for yourself and take a piece of history home today. 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.

Blue Roman Glass Bangle Beads

We all know, a picture is worth a thousand words... These beads are absolutely wonderful and so full of good energy. There are no two alike, they are not perfect in any way and yet they speak volumes when used in earrings which make a statement!

Love

These beads are very unique. They have a great color variation, and a have a rough white finish, almost as if you just picked them up on the beach. I received 20 beads. Separating each bead are 3 small rough beads that are also cute! You’ll love them.
