Inspired by faceted gemstone beads, the art of faceting glass was mastered by the artisans of Bohemia. There, as nowhere else in the Europe, the plentiful supply of running water supplied the energy necessary to operate the grinding wheels used to cut glass. These beads, designed for export were subsequently distributed to traders and found their way to both Africa and the Americas. Authentic Russian Blue beads such as these were produced in a number of shapes and shades, some more rare than others. Look carefully and you can see the unique quality of these hand-faceted beads apparent in the slight irregularity of the individual facets. Each bead measures approximately 6-9 x 7-10mm with about 70 beads per strand and 26-27" long including raffia. This listing is for Russian Blue beads with a more smoothed and worn surface. Strand shown is representative however each strand is unique and will vary. Please let us know in advance if you have specific requirements.
