Bright Green Gem and White Pearl Ancient Roman Inspired Beaded Loop Chain Necklace Medieval Victorian SCA Christmas Holiday
$45.00
Necklaces in this style were popular in the Roman Empire, where each bead is captured on its own handmade length of chain. The technique also had a revival of popularity during Victorian times. The design is very classic and can be worn with modern attire, historical garb, or even as a subtle nod to Christmas, Yule, etc. The green gem beads are aventurine color enhanced to the searing green associated with chrysoprase, a valued form of "smaragdus" to the Romans, who called all pleasingly green stones this. The petite pearls are snowy white. At 25 1/2 inches, the very slender can double-wrap this and wear it as a choker, but worn singly, it should be a pleasing length on anyone.
