Roman Glass Saucer Heishi Beads (5mm)

Admire this unique strand of beads made from ancient glass pieces found in the region along the historic silk road. Frequently referred to as Roman Glass, the material for these beads is derived from old 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 different sources of 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. Exact count of beads can vary slightly between strands. Shade of beads may vary slightly from photo. Limited supply. 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.
