Ancient Roman Glass Pendant Necklace
Ancient Roman glass pendant, crafted from an authentic shard of teal blue Roman glass discovered in Afghanistan, in a region along the historic Silk Road trade route.
Originally created nearly 2,000 years ago, this ancient glass began as a material used in household items and industrial goods by the Roman Empire, such as cups, vases, and perfume containers.
This remarkable glass’s bright, iridescent colors result from iron used in the glassmaking process, which has oxidized in the soil over centuries resulting in a mesmerizing, multi-colored patina.
This amazing historical piece of glass, measuring 2.8 cm in length and 1.5 cm in width (measured from the middle), is hanging from a handcrafted hammered 14k gold filled bail, and comes with a 20" long 14k gold filled beading chain. Total length of the pendant with the bail is 3.2 cm.
If your pendant becomes wet and is looking dull, don’t worry! The iridescent colors can temporarily disappear if moisture touches the glass, but as the pendant dries, the vibrant rainbow hues will return.
Here’s how to keep your pendant looking its best:
* Allow natural drying: Avoid rubbing the pendant dry, as the mineral coating is delicate. Simply let it air dry, and the colors will reappear.
* Minimize moisture exposure: Remove your pendant before showering, swimming, or intense physical activities to avoid prolonged contact with water, sweat, or humidity.
* Avoid chemicals: Protect your piece from lotions, perfumes, and cleaning products.
* Gentle cleaning: Occasionally, wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth - never use jewelry cleaners or polishing cloths on the glass.
This necklace arrives in a beautiful gift packaging, making it a perfect and meaningful gift for anyone who cherishes history, culture, and the beauty of ancient artifacts.
