Beautiful Bracelet Made Of Roman Glass | Antiques Roadshow

[@ItsMe-yv9jd]

That piece belongs in a museum... very interesting story to it's origin.

[@ike0072]

Green tubes glass section was exquisite.

[@HunterShows]

Looks like blades of grass.

[@fugglie]

That was an amazing trip down memory lane, he explained everything so clearly and left nothing unsaid, What a marvel to not only have a piece of jewellery that was made 200 years ago but for it to have that amazing glass from the roman era made it even the more special. To think that they had the technology back then to do something that couldn't be replicated for more than a thousand years is just mind boggling, Roman technology was so advanced

[@JohnnyKray]

It wasn't made by Romans, they weren't smart enough. It was made by aliens.

[@marie-josetimperley3825]

Fascinating story and beautiful craftsmanship! Maybe this bracelet should be in a museum?

[@susanhoward5479]

I agree

[@Aquaticfireartglass]

I would pay much more for this spectacular piece of glass history, its beautiful. If only it could speak, imagine the stories it could tell!

[@josephinemonahan915]

Roxanne...this programme is probably 40 years old...nowadays the value would be much much more.

[@mollydooker9636]

Thats is simply stunning. I could stare at it for days.

[@Maxi_1801]

The Romans were ahead of their time. Beautiful glass.

[@lutomson3496]

I have a Roman emerald ring beautiful creation

[@lindadunstall1790]

Impressive knowledge by ARS presenters! Beautiful design & those patterns. The "how to" of so much from the Romans (from Concrete to fabulous glass & more) has been lost. Please lady 🙏, wear it! Too beautiful to keep in the dark. 🥰🦘🦘🦘🦘

Astonishing glass , so beautiful .

[@lightowl4345]

that is beautiful, I hope she sells it to a good museum some day.

What an exquisite piece of art and jewellery that bracelet is. With the most wonderful history. I truly believe such a unique piece is worth a great deal more than he valued it at. ✨💚💛💙

[@gordongate]

this was filmed 25 years ago, its price would be considerably more today

[@peterdonaldhume]

Based on what knowledge?

[@yvonnetuakoi4271]

In ROMANIA In Constansta a n extremely large and ancient Roman port they have glass works dating back to AD I And Glass is a very beautiful and stunning commodity there !

[@2MuchPurple]

It was so thrilling to see the true colors of these glass fragments! They, and the bracelet, looked modern. I love ancient history, and seeing something like this is fantastic. BTW, I'd pay $10,000 for this piece. If it fit me that is.

[@toosense]

I agree. Given the history and rarity it should be worth much more than quoted.

[@tyriana..340]

This episode is 25 years old, in today's money it's worth quite a bit more. 🙂

[@Jorg05111980]

won't get it for that anywhere close now I'd imagine

[@grumpyoldlady_rants]

Wow! What a gorgeous bracelet! I didn’t realize that decorative glass went back so far.

[@LiliWhyte]

I'd lend it to a museum.

Amazing, so decorative and beautiful. I would love to own it ❤ So much history. Gorgeous 😊😊

[@ritaking8827]

Oh I did love her expression when she was told how much it was worth! She seems very sweet! I hope she did wear it again! She should know she is worthy of that and a Whole lot more!

[@alistairmcelwee7467]

Glorious bracelet. Such a shame that knowing its market value will stop her from wearing it!

And that was then…imagine what it’s worth now!

Oh I would wear it! It’s gorgeous!

[@britlew5933]

A piece of history, imagine breaking the glass by banging into something, would be a shame.

[@laurae8324]

I’m a jeweler and IMO this belongs in a museum. Glass is easily broken on the wrist.

I don’t know how I got here. But I’m here and I enjoyed the video.

[@Gryffen75]

I have ancient Roman jewelry that I do wear, but one must be incredibly careful, not only because of the intrinsic value and age of the pieces, but the extreme content of lead that is in Roman glass and jewelry! The same goes for my Ancient Roman Coinage. It shouldn't really be handled much, but there's tons of lead contained in the coins as well.

[@nickr4957]

Beautiful piece. Goes well with the presenter's neck tie.

[@erik61801]

that was really cool. I wish i could hold something in my hands even half as old as that besides rocks.

[@Gr8Layks]

I love the reserved disposition and sensibilities of the English. We Americans love exaggeration and histrionics! 😌

[@keviemac]

I'm crushed , after she learned of its detailed complexity and values, she responds with "I definitely won't wear it now." Destined to put away in a dark box for centuries again. What an undignified end. Again.

[@carolt.7674]

It was made to wear! I hope she changed her mind!

[@ET-yp9vc]

Maybe she will display it in a glass case?

[@HunterShows]

"It's very valuable..." "Oh, my word! I will quickly bury it an an archaeological site to preserve it."

Lucky lady ,he explained it so well

[@JA51711]

Fascinating

[@PatSmith-wi1kz]

That glass was amazing

[@robinjaffin3418]

It always makes me sad when someone fears wearing the jewelry because of the monetary value. It's a gorgeous piece and it would be even more so on her wrist.

[@freelovedragon1417]

I’d wear it all the time. Not daily but to any and every special outing and event. What a conversation piece as well.

Make a movie following it from creation to each owner and moments in their lives when they wore it, came into possession it etc. I’d watch it.

You have got to be kidding me. I recently got Van Cleef for my wife on our anniversary and believe me she hasn’t taken it off for about 2 weeks now. 😂

[@GlengoolieBlu]

Van Cleef’s are actually grand! However I feel they’re quite overpriced.

This BBC clip is 25 years old. It'll be more now😊

[@teptime]

In all honesty, Roman glass is NOT as rare as most would believe(intact vessels are typically very small...larger glass artifacts are seldom found intact). It's actually harder to find more recent medieval glass, as it was rarely made for anything other than cathedral windows.

[@JeanMenezes]

I'm aways impressed at how cheap this items are. This peace is two thousand years old, made with extremely rare glass and yet, is only worth 10k dollars.

[@janna59]

I agree, I would think being 2000 years old that it would be invaluable and a MUSEUM piece!! It shouldn’t “belong” to anyone and if so they really should put it in a museum

[@WillyEckaslike]

6000 GBP in 1998 when this was filmed is worth approximately 11,000 GBP today; 10,000 is worth about 18,250 GBP today.

[@sr633]

Old or new glass jewelery could crack or break while wearing it.

[@DuckReach432]

Amazing to see how advanced the Romans were. Had the Roman Empire survived, we might have had the Industrial Revolution and the subsequent advances of today a thousand years ago.

[@-_James_-]

You wouldn't have needed the Roman empire to survive. Just Christianity to have not risen in the first place. We've easily lost 1500 years of development thanks to God botherers and their ilk.

[@hensonlaura]

Shocking ignorance. Judeo Christian values have brought more advancement, freedom, education, safety & wealth to the word (largely via open market Captalism) than any other philosophy. Would you prefer Roman slavery (where owners could legally rape, beat & kill their chattel), Roman political inequality (ancient Roman voting was only for male land owners - about 10% of the population: "Shut up you 90% & serve your Lords!") , Roman brutalism (public killings of slaves & animals by the thousand, for entertainment. Criminal mayhem amongst the poor, who weren't protected unless they were of some use to a free man), Roman hedonists (aspiring to live for personal pleasures at the cost of quality of life to anyone who can be used to that end. "Wealthy people only please - after we're served, you poor people can prey on each other at will!") to the liberal society that we've created over the last 300 years in the countries where Judeo Christain values have triumphed. The more prosperous parts of Europe, GB, The Americas. Where people live in relative luxury and have rights that are unprecedented in human history (excepting "liberal" Socialist states like Venuzuela, obviously, where a few hold power & the rest fuel the machine). In the entire world, France first, then England, then the US outlawed slavery - a worldwide institution for all time - & mobilized military to fight against it abroad, at great expencse & largely fruitlessly, for many years. There are still MILLIONS of slaves in the world TODAY in un-Westernized countries that under-educated Westerners seem not to be aware of. Does anyone care? There is still culturally accepted slavery in the Congo, Middle East, China, India & many other places where other religions prevail, in societies geared on VALUES similar to Ancient Rome's. By that, I mean wealth & liberty to those on top, & the masses can scrabble for survival. Roman senators & pholosophers waxed lyric about liberal values regarding their OWN lives, not uplifting the masses, lol). Snap out of your fantasy of majestically sweeping around in a toga & maybe join the movement of compassion, education, personal freedom, industry. You don't have to join the church, just wise up to a pholosophy that has prevailed because it benefits humans the most, across the board. You MUST believe in natural selection, right? Work to the best of your ability, give compassionately, be independant if you can, represent for freedom of choice - which gives us all the opportunity to better ourselves & help those around us that can't. And drop the resentful attitude, based on believing lies from people who want to tear down what works, to acquire power & benefits for THEMSELVES (shout out to Socialist Democrats!).

[@pattismithurs9023]

People, understand that 10,000GBP in 1998 was perhaps 1/10th of what the value would be today. Perhaps some historian can help us out with a reasonable conversion?
