This Roman glass pendant necklace features a vivid turquoise blue glass shard with subtle iridescence, bezel set in sterling silver. The color is intense and luminous, with shifting surface tones that are difficult to fully capture in photographs.
The glass shard is cut in a kite-like shape and framed in a clean silver bezel. The pendant originally had pin hardware, which was removed by a previous owner, allowing it to be worn as a necklace. The conversion is neatly executed and does not detract from the visual balance of the piece.
The pendant is paired with a sterling silver snake chain measuring 20 inches in length. The chain is marked 925 and is rhodium plated to maintain a bright finish. The clasp shows minor wear with slight loss of rhodium plating and light patina, but remains fully functional.
