Salvaged from fragments of ancient Roman Glass from areas along the Silk Road trading route, each and every strand of Roman Glass beads has its own unique story to tell. The production of Roman Glass can be traced back all the beginning of the 1st century AD. Initially, Roman Glass was produced and created using ancient Hellenistic glassmaking techniques. The majority of these manufacturing techniques were very tedious and usually took a ton of time. Due to this, the Roman Glass industry in its early years was a relatively trivial artisan craft that wasn't practiced by many.
Roman Glass production reached its peak in the 2nd Century AD. Roman Glass was being used for windows and was being dyed in various colors like blue and green. The Roman Glass fragments you see today being used as beads can be from items like jars, goblets, windows, bowls, and vases.
