It is rightly said that 'good things come in small packages.' The glass beads may in small in size but they surely are appealing enough to be adorned in the necklaces of high minded and not simply high class people. They have been in use since the ancient times but have not lost their value even in the contemporary times.
Glass beads are very small pieces of glass with a hole in it. They are so small that the single glass bead is hard to be seen because focused attention is required for that. Many of them can be collected and put into a string to give a stunning look of a necklace. It is an art to play wisely with various colours, sizes and shapes of glass beads to make a wonderful adornment. A single bead here and there out of the whole string can completely ruin the look of the choker.
If we put on the lenses of anthropology, we will find that the history of Glass Beads dates long back to roman reign. The queens and kings of that period were indulged in these things to put on their royal time and again.

Its history is rich enough to stretch to other countries as well like Mediterranean, Egypt and Venice. This beautiful culture has been put down by such countries and we are proud to receive it.
