Measurements & Materials

Mixed sizes. Material: Glass. Weight 100 grams
All our glass beads are handmade in the traditional way. Patterns and colors are not painted on, but are created from molten glass wrapped around a plaster-dipped steel rod. Already during the Viking Age, we Norsemen fell in love with the beautiful expression of glass beads, and it is a love we share with the rest of the world. The process we use today is almost identical to that used by the Vikings. Even though we in Scandinavia had not figured out how to manufacture glass, thousands of intricate and often locally produced glass beads can be found wherever one looks where the Vikings traveled. The glass and some finished beads were imported from the East. Today, the beads are manufactured in northern India, in a small village not far from the banks of the Ganges. There, the knowledge of making glass beads is something they are very proud of, and the bead masters dream that their secrets can be passed down to the next generation. And as awareness grows among people and customers around the world who demand jewellery in durable and handmade designs, it may no longer be just a dream.

Care

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