A restrung Ancient Roman necklace formed from green glass beads. The body of the necklace is comprised of rounded, tubular, disc-shaped, and some irregular beads. A centrepiece is formed from an iridescent biconical bead (unfortunately now half-chipped), a spherical bead and a small hoop bead through which the necklace is threaded. Each glass bead displays a unique shape, hue and translucency, reflecting their antique and hand-crafted nature. Please note this necklace is unclasped and threaded on a 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.
