Ancient Roman Glass Pendant
$89.99 / Sold Out
This is a stunning pendant made with ancient glass that is between 700 to 3000 years old.
The brillant colours come from a chemical reaction from the glass when left in the soil. The sands used to manufacture ancient glass contained manganese and iron ore, impurities which over centuries gives unique colours to the glass when left in the ground.
A little history lesson....
Thousands of years ago, the Romans came to Afghanistan to trade in glass and teach the art of glass making. Buried for centuries, the discarded chunks had been thrown into a pit for recycling, a common practice in ancient times, but instead were forgotten.
