Gandhara Period (circa 100 BCE – 500 CE)

These beads come from ancient Gandhara, crafted from around the 1st century BCE to the 5th century CE at a crossroads of culture and trade. Made by hand from carnelian, agate, jasper, lapis lazuli, and other beautiful stones, each bead has its own story and unique character. Once worn or used in ceremonies, these beads are tiny pieces of history you can hold. Scarce and museum-quality, Gandharan beads are perfect for collectors, history enthusiasts, or anyone who loves the timeless beauty of the Silk Road.
