Handcrafted Thai Sterling Silver and Roman Glass Necklace, "Ancient Sky"

Ornate medallions of sterling silver recall archaeological treasures in this necklace by Michael Krainer. Each one hosts a precious square of Roman glass, which began life as a vase, jug, or vessel. Uncovered from ancient Roman archaeological sites in modern-day Israel, and sourced from a reputable antique dealer authorized by the Israeli government, each piece not only bears the marks of its past life as a household or temple object, but also has been transformed by the very earth in which it rested.
