For sale is this beautiful pendant that was made out of a piece of authentic Ancient Roman Glass. The Ancient Roman Empire used a relatively large amount of glass in production of dishes, perfume containers, jewelry, and other applications. It had just gotten inexpensive enough that it could be sold to the middle class. As the French say “It is the fate of glass to break”. And once broken, it would have become trash. Towards the later part of the empire especially, there was likely lots of glass fragments that became waste. This piece is a fragment of what was once a cup, bottle, or bowl of some kind. Now it is just a shard of glass. Someone took some careful time to round off the edges, paint over them with a gold colored paint, and add a bail to make this a unique piece of jewelry. There isn’t that much financial value in the piece itself, but is a cool piece because of its history and story. It would be a beautiful piece of jewelry to wear today! Please note: the piece of glass is an authentic ancient artifact, but was made into a pendant in modern times (I would guess during the past 10-15 years or a little more). The gold portions appear to just be gold paint. There are some chips and marks in the paint in some places. Note that the glass is iridescent from the aging process. This is common for Roman glass. Overall this is an incredible piece and would be a great piece to wear, gift, or to add to any collection! Don’t pass it up!
