Czech annular beads are tubular or ring-shaped glass beads, often associated with Iron Age, Roman, and Romano-British periods. They are characterized by their rounded edges and a hole running through the center, similar to a ring. Annular beads are made from a variety of colors, including transparent blues, greens, yellows, clear glass, and opaque shades.

They are commonly found at archaeological sites from the Iron Age, Roman, and Romano-British periods, suggesting their use in jewellery and other adornments during those times.

These are another kind of European bead which was traded into West Africa. Contemporary versions are produced there today, made from recycled "powder glass".

I often find it difficult to differentiate between the ancient versions, and the ones that have been "aged". The verdict is out on these, but experienced bead fanatics have told me this strand is genuine antique!

I am pricing them as if they might not be antiques. If they're not, this is a great price for a replica. If they are real, this is an amazing deal!
