Römisches Reich Glas Blaue Perlenkette (Ohne Mindestpreis)
An elegant restrung Roman glass necklace. The beads are all different shapes and sizes, as well as different shades of blue, gradually increasing in size towards the centre. The centrepiece of the necklace is formed by a cluster of four beads. Please note this necklace is unclasped and threaded on string.
Such necklaces testify to the popularity of glass ornaments across the Roman Empire. The mass production of glass in Ancient Rome prompted the development of glass jewellery. The ageing process of glass endows Roman glass jewellery with unique qualities. For instance, contaminants manufactured into the glass, exposed to the surrounding environment over thousands of years, result in beautiful lustres and speckling, where the glass might formerly have been transparent.
Measurements: beaded half-length 21.5cm
Provenance: Ex private UK collection, acquired 1990s.
