Ancient Roman Glass Sterling Silver Pendant

Roman Glass
Discovered in ancient Roman archaeological sites in Nimruz, Afghanistan, which is one of the regions of the historic Silk Road trade route. The glass in this aqua-hued jewellery began life as a material commonly crafted for both household goods and in industry.
 These ancient glass pieces are commonly referred to as "Roman Glass", and the material for our jewellery is derived from ancient vessels such as cups, vases, and perfume containers that have sustained the travails of time. The weathered, fragmented and iridescent sheen of these unique pieces makes this a perfect jewellery gift!

Sterling Silver 925%
Why do silversmiths use 925%? Measured in parts per thousand, pure silver (999%) is too soft so silversmiths mix it with other metals to make it it harder. The purer the metal, the higher the polish, but it is a lot softer (thus less durable). The harder the metal is, the more hard wearing the jewellery is, but it will also tarnish easier as it has less silver content. Therefore, the silver industry set a standard percentage content for fine silver (925); what we know as "sterling silver". At Two Skies our silversmiths use 925 (sterling) silver for ring shafts and moving parts, and a very high 950% on our stones settings, which enables us to get a strong jewellery item with a beautiful and secure stone setting, without any gluing. Each piece of our jewellery is hand stamped with our Two Skies Hallmark alongside the recognised industry 925 Hallmark.
