K24 ◇ Afghan Origin ◇ Roman Glass ◇ Pendant Top

Roman glass refers to glass products used by people in the Roman Empire era (approximately 5th century BC to 5th century AD, 1200-1700 years ago), primarily in the regions of present-day Afghanistan and Iran. These artifacts, buried in the earth, underwent a chemical reaction between silica and alumina from the soil, and iron, copper, and magnesium in the soil, a phenomenon known as "silvery iridescence." This occurs when various environmental conditions align, creating multiple layers of film that shimmer with a beautiful, iridescent glow. This particular piece of Roman glass captivates with its beautiful, aurora-like Persian blue and silvery-white sheen. It features a K24 bail, with a round charm (made of K22) at the tip of the core. The golden hue of the metal harmonizes wonderfully with the Roman glass. The front and back offer distinct expressions. Awakened from a long slumber of antiquity, this Roman glass seems to whisper tales as you gaze upon it. Size: Roman glass: Approx. 19mm (height) x 11mm (width) x 7mm (depth) Metal Material: K24 (Bail: stamped) *Chain is not included. This is a sale of the pendant top only. If you desire a K18 chain, please select it from the options. *The surface of glass buried for over 500 years in the earth exhibits a sparkling, silvered appearance. This is a natural phenomenon caused by weathering, not artificial alteration. ※ Please handle with care as the surface may flake off if scratched with fingernails or other sharp objects. Each piece is unique, with no two ever being the same. Enjoy this Roman glass, a crystallization of ancient romance, where human craftsmanship and natural weathering converge in a beautiful trajectory. ◇ Gift wrapping is available.
