Roman Glass Mosaica Necklace - Roman Glass & Sterling Silver

By Artist Angie Olami
1"x1.5"

This splendid necklace will make you feel like royalty. Its design invokes images of ancient menorahs and Temple vessels. The mosaic Roman glass in the pendant is perfectly matched by the cut-glass beaded chain. Sterling silver setting with 16" beaded chain and sterling silver toggle clasp.

This necklace is based on Greek, Roman, Jewish, and Byzantine mosaics which inlaid thousands of tesserae, or small glass tiles of different colors, to create rich and astonishingly pictures that adorned their palaces. To affect the inlay of a myriad of tiny pieces, Angie Olami inlays the tiniest of real gemstones, seed pearls, and/or glass beads to enhance the Roman glass. To evoke the play of light and pattern, tiny pieces of ancient Roman glass fragments have been ground up, mixed with resin, and inlaid in chunks, so that the pieces will refract light off of each other. Olami adds Murano and Czechoslovakian glass beads to compliment the Roman Glass. The richness of texture and color recalls the opulence of Byzantine fabrics and the floor mosaics from Roman Villas.To protect the glass, please ensure that it does not come in contact with water.
