Ancient Roman Glass Pendant with gemstones
An ancient artifacts to wear! This pendant is strung with carnelian, labradorite, and other gemstone beads.
The making of Roman Glass was a high art, and glass was much prized. Some of the unusual techniques and wide variety of colors are still a mystery to modern science, and it is a lost art.
This glass, from an archaeological dig in the Middle East, has been fashioned into a disc pendant. Buried in the soil for 2000 years, the glass pieces have acquired beautiful patinas and irridescence.
In its past life, this glass could have been a perfume bottle, jar, serving bowl. Now the passage of time, nature, archaeology, the luck of discovery, and modern craftsmanship have given it a new life as a unique pendant ... and a fascinating conversation piece.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum
