Αn elegant restrung Ancient Roman beaded necklace. This necklace is composed of mainly small circular, or cylindrical, glass beads in varying shades of blue and turquoise. The beads become gradually larger nearer the centrepiece, which is formed by a cluster of three beads, a smaller circular bead at the top, with vertical incisions, a larger blue circular bead, and a kite-shaped bead running through the large blue bead. The middle bead of the centrepiece has a slight chip. 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.
