Javanese (Indonesian) glass beads are highly sought, but can be a bit difficult to find.
These beads are hand made by village artisans (mainly on the island of Java), using traditional methods passed on from generation to generation, and designs that reach back centuries when the beads were first made and traded by the Dutch East India Company.
Once you discover and fall in love with Javanese glass beads, you will recognize them from then on!
