Indian Silver Ear Cuff with Iridescent Roman Glass Beads and Plump Indian Silver Bells

An Indian silver ear cuff adorned with iridescent Roman glass beads and plump Indian silver bells. The rounded, pale green beads are Roman glass, originally crafted as decorative elements like necklaces during the Roman Empire (27 BCE – 395 CE), making them exceptionally precious. Both beads exhibit an iridescent sheen. Iridescence is a result of the glass undergoing a chemical reaction with the soil's components after being buried for centuries. This process creates a sparkling, shimmering effect. It's important to note that not all glass buried for extended periods develops this iridescence; it only appears when specific conditions align. (Roman Glass Bead Size: Height 1.9 cm, Diameter 0.4 cm) *Please note that the iridescent layer may peel off. This shimmering effect can fade due to friction or contact with skin oils. Even if the iridescence diminishes, the inherent beauty and color of the ancient glass remain. We hope you'll enjoy wearing it, embracing the sense of wearing a piece of history that evolves with you. Delicate Venetian sapphire-blue antique beads are nestled above and below the Roman glass beads. The small bells are crafted from Indian silver. While they don't chime loudly, the gentle clinking sound they make as they touch creates a delicate, rustling melody. The ear cuff itself is made of silver sourced from India (Sterling Silver 925). It features intricate patterns near the center. With its slight volume, this ear cuff stands impressively on its own. (Ear Cuff Size: Height 2.9 cm, Width 1.6 cm, Thickness 0.2 cm – measured from the rounded tip) The decorative elements above and below the Roman glass beads are also silver. They are German silver plated with sterling silver, showcasing charming, intricate craftsmanship. The connecting pins and the floral component at the bottom are also silver. The double-spiral rings and small beads are made of Karen silver. The charm can also be threaded onto a leather cord. The ear cuff can be worn separately.
