Emerald Green Roman Glass, Antique Bohemian Beads, Excavated Beads, Iridescent Beads, Tribal Brass, and Opal Bracelet

This bracelet is crafted by connecting emerald green Roman glass, antique Bohemian beads, excavated beads, iridescent beads, tribal brass, and opals. The elongated beads are Roman glass, dating back to the Roman Empire (27 BCE – 395 CE). The tubular pieces, once part of bangles, have a slight curve. As they are ancient artifacts, small chips may be present, but they do not affect everyday wear. Two of the beads feature charming, raised spot patterns. The round beads are also made from carved Roman glass. The clear, oval beads are early 20th-century Bohemian beads. While they show some signs of age, this only enhances their wonderfully atmospheric quality! (Bohemian bead size: 0.9cm width, 0.7cm height) The whitish, disc-shaped beads are excavated beads. The iridescent beads, excavated from Djenné, Mali, were originally all light blue, but some are now covered by patina. They exhibit beautiful iridescence, creating a deeply captivating bead. These date back to around the 14th century. The rectangular, whitish beads are precious Roman glass beads, originally crafted as beads during the Roman era and used in adornments like necklaces. Roman glass originates from the Roman Empire (27 BCE – 395 CE) and displays a beautiful silvery sheen. This iridescence occurs when glass is buried for centuries, causing a chemical reaction between the glass and soil components, resulting in a shimmering effect. Not all glass buried for extended periods becomes iridescent; this phenomenon only appears under specific combined conditions. The tiny, granular beads are brass beads made by the Benin people of Africa, featuring incredibly intricate detailing. A touch of verdigris adds to their cool aesthetic! The small emerald green beads are antique beads known as Indo-Pacific beads, with origins tracing back to the 2nd century BCE. These particular beads are excavated items from Indonesia, dating an astonishing 1000 years ago to around the 10th century! Opal discs are incorporated, interspersed with 18K gold-plated Karen silver. The clasp is an S-hook, allowing for wear on either side. This bracelet offers the joy of experiencing beads from various eras.
