Large blue glass bead

Material: Glass
Dimensions: 17x15mm Hole size: 5mm

All our glasss beads are handmade in the traditional way.
Patterns and colors are not painted on, but created from molten glasss wound around a plaster-dipped steel rod.
Redan under Vikingatiden blev vi nordbor förälskade i glasspärlornas vackra uttryck och det är en kärlek vi delar med resten av världen. Processen vi använder idag är nästan identisk med den vikingarna använde. Trots att vi i Skandinavien inte hade listat ut hur man tillverkar glass. Så hittar man tusentals intrikata och oftast lokalt tillverkade glasspärlor, vart man än letar där vikingarna farit fram.
Glasset och en del färdiga pärlor importerades från östen. Today, the beads are made in northern India, in a small village not far from the shores of the Ganges. There, the knowledge of making glasss beads is something they are very proud of, and the bead masters dream that their secrets can be passed on to the next generation. And as awareness grows among people and customers around the world who demand jewelry in durable and handmade designs, perhaps it is no longer just a dream.

Glass is a durable material that requires no special maintenance. Handle with care to avoid scratches and cracks.
