Abacus-shaped clear and blue silvered Roman glass beads, Silver bead single earring

This is a single earring made of abacus-shaped clear and blue silvered Roman glass beads and Silver beads. The abacus-shaped clear beads and blue beads were made during the Roman era and are very valuable Roman glass beads that were used as ornaments such as necklaces. Roman glass is glass from the Roman Empire period (27 BC - 395 AD). Both grains show a silvery sheen. Silvering occurs when glass is buried underground for a long period of time, causing a chemical reaction between the components of the glass and the soil, resulting in a sparkling shine. Not all glass that has been buried for a long time will silver. This phenomenon only occurs when a number of conditions are met. (Size of the abacus-shaped Roman glass: length 0.6cm, width 0.9cm) The silvered part may peel off. This shine may disappear due to rubbing or oils. Even after the silvery shine has worn off, you can still enjoy the color of the ancient glass itself, so we hope you will wear it with the feeling that it is something you are growing. The decoration on the top of the abacus-shaped Roman glass is made of Silver. It is made of German Silver with sterling Silver placed on top. Silver plump, intricately crafted Silver beads are handmade one by one. The pins connecting the flower-shaped parts are also Silver. The double helix ring and small beads are Karen Silver. The French hook is also made of Silver and is stamped with "925" for silver 925. These earrings allow you to enjoy the mysterious shine and appearance of antique glass. size Length: Approx. 4.8cm (including earrings) Weight: Approximately 2.6g per piece Material: Glass, Karen Silver, Silver
