Approx. 18-20 beads |
2mm Hole |
31 inches Strand Length
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. If you look carefully, you will see that these beads have a unique patina endowed by the mineral deposits where the glass lay buried. Each glass piece has been individually drilled and threaded to create a strand. No two strands are alike. Shade of green and coloration of beads may vary slightly from photo with more green tone beads and some aqua mixed in. Individual rectangular beads measure 10-21 x 6-16mm. There are approximately 18 rectangular beads and 30 spacers on each strand. The length of the strand is approximately 31" including string. Truly something special to use in any jewelry piece. Multiple strands may be pictured. Each strand sold individually. 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.

Rustic shapes and color - LOVE

The rough shaped chunks have a beautiful range of colors: palest green through watery blue to smokey gray. I wear them as sold - already strung with.

Ancient Roman glass beads

These are just as pictured, they’re kind of organic, a little irregular, which makes them so pretty. I think each one is unique.
