FREE: Ancient Roman Jewelry

The listing, Ancient Roman Jewelry has ended.

While much emphasis is placed on fine gold and silver pieces of antiquated jewelry, many pieces worn by lower social classes in Rome would have been made out of bronze or other less expensive metals. Gold and silver pieces would have been worn by the wealthy. Unlike ancient Greek jewelers, Roman manufacturers would have dealt primarily with mass-produced pieces created using molds and casting techniques.[2] This allowed more people to afford such accessories.
Roman aesthetic values led to the increased use of precious and semi-precious gemstones as well as colored glass in jewelry. Ostentatious and creative use of color was valued over fine metalwork. Glass makers were supposedly so skilled that they could fool the public into thinking that glass beads and ornaments were actually gemstones.[3] When genuine gems were utilized, the stones preferred by Roman women were amethyst, emerald, and pearl.[

* part of a write up I found with Wikipedia....... with that stated, I'm not certain if mine is real, or glass... but it is in fact a beautiful piece of Jewelry! Its also a bit weighted as well... doesn't feel light. Not sure of the size but it does hang a bit off my wrist. I'm sure it can fit most. I've had this piece laying around for " many" years and not sure where it came from. Please know, I ship same or next day and this is " FREE" shipping. Thanks for stopping by!!
Ps.... as it says, " When genuine Gems were utilized, the stones " preferred" by Roman woman were amethyst, emerald and pearls... this one does have amethyst and emerald!! There are 9 gemstones to be exact and 10 beautiful diamond accents!!
