For your consideration are three strands of antique sea glass beads. These strands are single color, with one strand showing a light blue, one an aqua blue, and the third a dark blue. The light and dark blue strand each show 30 beads and the aqua strand shows 33 beads. The beads are round in shape and show a rough finish. Sea glass takes 20 to 40 years, and sometimes as much as 100 years, to acquire its characteristic texture and shape. And they can be found all over the world. These beads are strung together on a twine string and show good condition overall, with some cracking on a few beads consistent with age. These strands measure approximately 14" strung.
