Product Description:

The glass disc beads in this piece are of ancient Roman origin, and were found in the Nimroz province of Afghanistan. They date between 900 & 1200 years old, and were excavated 4-5 years ago.

Every glass coin is completely different--the hues vary from ephemeral celery to sea green to palest aqua blue; some are glassy clear like shallow coastal waters, and some are milky like frosted glass; some bear creamy accretions like sea spume and barnacles; some are chunky and rustic; some are delicate and wafer thin.

Roughly tumbled aquamarines and bone beads in ivory seemed a natural compliment to these beads, as did deerskin lacing in a soft palomino color. Hammered, hand-formed beadcaps in nickel, and a pewter toggle clasp mirror the sterling silver wire.
