These 10mm Roman Glass Button Beads arrive as a medley — a mixed assortment of ancient glass pieces with genuine archaeological character that mass-produced beads simply can't replicate.

Because each bead is ancient glass, colors and surface textures vary across the mix, with the weathering and iridescence that only real age can produce.

What to make with them

String them into eclectic tribal-style necklaces or layer them into boho bracelets where the variation in each bead becomes part of the design; their button shape also works well as focal points in macramé or fiber work where a flat profile sits cleanly against knotted cords.

Description

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. The glass pieces have been carefully cut, drilled, and strung together but you can see still the variation in color of the ancient 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 and may vary slightly from photo. You will receive a 16" strand. 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
