Ancient Roman Glass Pendant with gemstones
An ancient artifacts to wear! This pendant is strung with carnelian, labradorite, and other gemstone beads.
The making of Roman Glass was a high art, and glass was much prized. Some of the unusual techniques and wide variety of colors are still a mystery to modern science, and it is a lost art.
This glass, from an archaeological dig in the Middle East, has been fashioned into a disc pendant. Buried in the soil for 2000 years, the glass pieces have acquired beautiful patinas and irridescence.
In its past life, this glass could have been a perfume bottle, jar, serving bowl. Now the passage of time, nature, archaeology, the luck of discovery, and modern craftsmanship have given it a new life as a unique pendant … and a fascinating conversation piece.
