Ancient Glass & Antique Trade Bead Necklace
Sold- Contact for a special order.
2,000 year old ancient glass, hand cut, drilled & wire wrapped, then strung as an 18" necklace with antique porcelain from the 1600's vintage ostrich shell, and hand blown glass trade beads, gemstones, and sterling silver accents and findings. Each bead has a story to tell.
This ancient glass was developed by the Romans over 2,000 years ago and was used to make everything from perfume jars to wine bottles. They perfected practical glass making techniques that allowed precious cargo to be carried more effectively all over the Middle East, Europe, Africa and Asia via the overland Silk Road and Sea Trade routes. Discarded pieces that are damaged and of no use to museums are now used to create these lovely jewelry pieces.
