K24 Pure Gold ◇ Afghan Origin ◇ Roman Glass Pendant Top I

Roman glass originates from glass objects used by people in the Roman Empire between 1200 and 1700 years ago (roughly the 5th century AD). Buried in the earth, the silica and aluminum oxide within the glass reacted chemically with iron, copper, and magnesium from the soil, a process known as iridescence. This phenomenon occurs under specific environmental conditions, layering the glass with multiple films that create a beautiful, rainbow-like shimmer. This particular Roman glass features a delicate and stunning iridescence on a cobalt blue base. It emanates a vivid radiance, showcasing captivating hues of pink, peacock blue, and an almost beetle-wing green. Crafted with pure 24K gold (K24), which resists tarnishing eternally, this pendant top is designed to highlight the natural beauty of the material. The front and back present different expressions, allowing for reversible wear. For those desiring a K18 chain, it can be selected as an option. Awakened from a long slumber spanning centuries, this Roman glass seems to whisper tales of ancient times.
