Ancient Roman, Ca. 1-100 AD
A petite necklace of small glass and yellow gold beads. The necklace has been strung in vaguely graduated sizes. But the final 8 glass beads at the center of the necklace are exceptional, almost perfectly matched in size and having been carefully blown with internal white glass striations. The necklace is finished at the center with a gold finial and a single round gray bead.
