Here's some seed beads I have. I believe theyare Islamic/ Roman period.
It is my understanding that these are gold foiled beads. Not a lot of gold ones but the others look silver. I'm not sure what happens to silver
when it hit hot glass.
Size is around 3mm's average.
What do you guy's think????

Just lots of rain here in the PacificNorthwest.. Hope you all are staying dry and happy....(Big smiley Face)

There is a useful article on gold-glass beads by Maud Spaer in BEADS vol. 5:

https://surface.syr.edu/beads/vol5/iss1/

You can find comparative beads in several other BEADS articles. Just visit the Author/Subject index and look under Bead Types: Gold Glass.

Most of the articles may be found on the SURFACE site as well as Academia.edu.
