Green Lampwork Glass and Pearl Necklace

This necklace is based on jewelry in Romano-Egyptian encaustic portraits, and made using lampwork green glass beads (there is some variation in the color of the beads within the necklace, some are more blue, some are a little lighter, some are a little streaky), white cultured freshwater pearls, gold-plated brass spacer beads, and a handmade red brass hook and eye clasp. It was strung on steel beading wire with reinforcements on the ends and crimp covers.
