Perhaps these Roman glass beads were once a beautiful vase or perhaps an ancient wine glass. Roman glass beads come from archealogical digs in Israel where the ancient glass is found to be dating approximately 2000 years ago. No two beads are the same and vary in color from a vast spectrum of different colors. Suspended from either sterling silver or 14k gold-filled fine chain hanging approx 16-17" with an adjustable closure, they bring a piece of history to your jewelry collection.
