  • Beautiful strand of large Russian Blue beads, 32-inches long
  • The beads are almost all in perfect condition. A few have small chips at the ends. 
  • No broken beads and no short ones in this strand
  • Made in Bohemia (now the Czech Republic) from the 1700 into the early 1900s
  • They were highly coveted by indigenous people in Alaska and further south along the Pacific Coast where Russian traders exchanged them for furs, hence the name.
