Romano-Egyptian Necklace w/ Beautiful Glass Beads

Egypt, Romano-Egyptian period, ca. 30 BCE to 2nd century CE. A gorgeous and wearable necklace formed from dozens of petite glass beads. Strung along the composition are a variety of translucent and opaque glass beads of spherical, seed, rectangular, and trapezoidal forms that create an attractive asymmetry, and the hues of cream, teal, blue, green, red, and yellow only add to the overall charm. Strung in modern times and capped with a gold-filled loop and lobster clasp combo, this is a stylish example of Romano-Egyptian fashion!
