Beads with ring eyes [Ringaugenperlen] are a type of Hallstatt beads widely spread over Europe of which the catalogue contains 1991 examples. Their production involved the fixing of little threads of glass shaped into rings onto slightly compressed round beads. The applied glass had a different colour, usually white or yellow. The beads must strictly be separated from the wider spread type with eyes of several glass layers[Schichtaugenperlen] of the Latène Age. There are two types of ring eye beads, namely the true ring eye beads with three rings in a line and beads with several ring groups. Types closely connected to them are beads with three or four points, star beads, zig-zag beads and beads for fibulae bows. In the manufacturing yellow, white, blue, green and dark glass was used. One chapter is dedicated to glass beads of the Later Bronze Age in Ireland. They were found in particularly large numbers in the hillfort of Rathgall, Co. Wicklow. Most of them are plain, 15 pieces are decorated with [partially concentric] circles. With a dating between 800 and 600 B.C. they are the oldest glass beads from Ireland.
