Ok so my mother is a not an SCA person per say, but she seems to like some of the aspects of the game. She has shown some interest in possibly making some viking strands from time to time to support her jewelry making hobby. She has sent these home with me to see if i could sell them here on the AA so i promised her i would give it a shot. These are glass beads, and there is a clasp on both ends so that it can be attached to brooches. She would like to get $25 for each of these strands if possible. Enjoy

Did she make those beads or just assemble the strands?

They look nice, but not very viking age.
I DO think there is a market for pre-made viking strands, but the beads should be more close to viking age beads it make it work.

the viking answer lady has a good page on them:

No. She did not make the beads, just assembled the strands.
