A 17" 925 sterling silver 1mm snake chain necklace featuring an ancient Roman glass and cutout silver design pendant. The cutout silver design measures approximately 47mm x 31mm. The pear-shaped ancient Roman glass measures approximately 22mm x 13mm. Finished with a lobster clasp. Comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. Roman glass colour will vary.

Roman glass is genuine ancient glass manufactured during the Roman period, approximately 2,000 years ago, in the territories of the Roman Empire — primarily in the regions of present-day Israel, Jordan, and Syria. The glass was produced for practical use as vessels and containers; the fragments used in contemporary jewelry are pieces of that original manufactured glass, recovered from archaeological sites. Over approximately 2,000 years in the soil, chemical weathering acts on the surface of the glass: alkali components leach from the surface and a silica-rich skin builds up in successive nanometre-thin layers. These layers form a thin-film interference structure that produces the characteristic iridescent surface of Roman glass — a shifting spectral colour play that is a product of the burial transformation the glass underwent over centuries rather than a property of the original glass. In this necklace, a pear-shaped ancient Roman glass stone measuring 22mm x 13mm is set within a cutout silver design measuring 47mm x 31mm. The cutout design is a sterling silver form from which areas of the interior have been removed to produce an open, graphic silhouette: the silver framework defines the outline of the pendant while the interior is open, allowing light to pass through the cutout areas around and beside the Roman glass stone. At 47mm x 31mm, the cutout silver pendant is a substantial form: the 47mm vertical dimension positions the pendant as a statement element at the neckline, extending nearly 5 centimetres below its chain attachment point. The pear-shaped Roman glass at 22mm x 13mm — a width-to-length ratio of approximately 1:1.69 — is a directional, elongated form whose pointed base and rounded top are characteristic of the pear or teardrop shape, and whose 22mm vertical dimension is complemented by the larger surrounding silver cutout framework. The 1mm snake chain provides a fine, fluid base that allows the substantial pendant to be the dominant visual element of the necklace.

A significant collector’s piece and a statement gift for anyone looking for an ancient Roman glass necklace with a cutout silver design — a pear-shaped 22mm x 13mm Roman glass stone set within a 47mm x 31mm sterling silver cutout pendant on a 17" snake chain, with a Certificate of Authenticity included.

✨ How to Wear

Wear alone as a statement ancient glass cutout pendant. The 17" snake chain positions the 47mm x 31mm pendant at and below the collarbone. The fine 1mm snake chain allows the substantial cutout pendant to be the dominant element at the neckline.
