Peter Reynaers

A restrung Ancient Roman necklace formed from green glass beads. The body of the necklace is mainly comprised of tubular beads alternating with small ellipsoid beads. The centre of the necklace features a pendant-like formation, composed of three rounded beads, followed by a large rectangular bead and finishing in a crescent-shaped bead, likely broken off from a large penannular bead. 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.

Measurements: (circa) half length 49.2cm; beaded half length 22cm.

Provenance: Ex private UK collection, acquired 1990s
