About Roman Eye Beads:
Roman Eye Beads, derived from ancient Roman times and the Sassanian Empire, are often referred to as "Roman Glass." During the height of the Roman Empire, traders actively engaged in glass craftsmanship, catering to various buyer preferences with diverse bead designs. The eye-patterned beads, known as Eye Beads, were believed to possess protective qualities and were inspired by ancient Phoenician beads, which predate the Roman era by several centuries. The fascination with these ancient beads reflects the deep-rooted history of beads, intertwined with human history itself.
