Ókori római Üveg Bézs gyöngyös nyaklánc (Nincs minimálár)
A fine restrung Ancient Roman necklace composed of circular and cylindrical glass beads in a mixture of pastel hues, ranging from beige, pink, brown, blue, green, and yellow. A number of beads have retained varying degrees of translucency, and several beads have been engraved with linear patterns. Τhe beads gradually increase in size towards the centrepiece, which features a large, green-brown, translucent bead resting upon a small yellow bead. Each bead presents a unique shape and slight different shade of colour, reflecting their antique and hand-crafted qualities. 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.
