I've never purchased Roman glass before. I haven't really ever trusted it. But this shop is so dependable I thought I'd give it a try and now I'm hooked. These beads are simply stunning--wonderful to hold in one's hands and to feel the antiquity there--to feel our ancestors, is such an honor. I will definitely buy more. Anyone who owns these beads needs to appreciate them fully for what they are--sort of little miracles we can hold in our hands. This strand is a bit greener than teal and also has some gorgeous gold amber colors in it.
A note to any of you considering buying a necklace with ancient beads, vintage beads or hand cut bone beads, please be aware that these come complete with irregularities. They may have visual flaws and differences because they are old and hand made. So if you don't find imperfections beautiful and interesting, as I do, shops this choice wouldn't be right for you.
