Beads of Old Glass from the Roman Empire
These unusual old beads were shaped from glass remnants which date from the Roman Empire. Surprisingly, Roman subjects were prolific glass makers, perfecting an already ancient craft to a skilled art.
Today Roman Glass shards are found scattered throughout the vast regions of the Empire, where they are gathered for making into trinkets, jewelry, or collecting.
These are simple glass beads that have been further shaped for use in crafting. The color is predominantly the characteristic aqua-blue of the untreated natural glass from that period.
We have a selection of strands. Please see the drop down menu and images to see/select your favorite. Price is for one strand.
