This resolves to a single strand around the shoulders and neck of the wearer.

Glass was considered a luxury item in the ancient world. It was used in everything from furniture inlays to embellishing architectural features, as well as vessels and precious jewelry. Hellenistic glass is thought by many to be among the most beautiful and highly-prized glass produced in antiquity due to the painstaking efforts needed to create such a high-quality product. The techniques used in ancient Greek glass manufacturing stem from the traditions of the Late Bronze Age which enabled glass artisans to create pieces that emulated the appearance of precious and semi-precious stones.
Provenance: private Dunn collection, Coral Springs, Florida, USA, acquired in the 1990s
