The exact provenance of these beads is not known but it is believed that they may be possibly roman.

I love these beads for their rustic dark blue colors. Some have an iridescence and some are translucent, definately have an ancient relic vibe. One strand yielded a casual 5 strand bracelet. I can wear this artifact with most things, like a favorite pair of jeans.

Excellent and swift service and delivery. Bead quality as expected. Will definitely source from here again.
