The mass production of glass in ancient Rome prompted the development of glass jewellery of unique qualities. The ancient Romans considered jewellery to be an essential accessory, being a public display of the wealth of high social classes. Recent excavations have provided better information on the use of glass for necklaces and bracelets, and in some cases it has been possible to understand the exact arrangement of the jewellery. -
