Terracotta Ancient Bead Choker

$2999.00

Earth-toned ancient beads — terracotta, off-white and pale lavender — glass, agate, seashell and clay from the ancient Roman dynasty.

Ancient glass, agate, seashell and clay beads; vintage Japanese pearls; Sterling Silver clasp and spacers.

Originating from the ancient Roman dynasty, this strand comprises glass, agate, seashell and clay — materials gathered and traded across the breadth of the empire, carried along routes that stretched from the Mediterranean to the far reaches of the known world. The beads bear the patina of centuries: pitted surfaces, irregular facets and muted tones that mark the slow passage of time. Each piece is a fragment of an ancient craft, shaped by hands that worked long before our own.

A grounding piece for slow mornings and unhurried evenings.
