These decorative beads were inspired by the deep dark blues and purples that we see when we look at space and the galaxy’s beyond and the pin picks of light from scattered distant stars. Embellished with Lapis Lazuli, dark and light Amathyst and glass beads with an option of Viking runes as well as dark steel spacer beads and galaxy/space themed charms.
 
In History Viking beads were not only seen as forms of beautiful decoration but also as a way of showing off their wealth and even more interestingly a form of rudimentary currency, as metal was a more rare substance during the viking era it has been documented that when purchasing goods vikings may break off bits of metal from their beads and use them to pay for their purchase.
 
Expose glow in the dark beads to sunlight and you will reveal that in the dark they have a mystical green glow!
