Roman Malachite Statement Necklace

Embellished with a pop of green malachite, this timeless necklace adapts the unique chain link on a gold necklace made in Rome during the 1st century A.D. The Museum’s collection of Greek and Roman art is a proverbial gold mine for resplendent jewelry. It traverses cultures and spans millennia, from the Neolithic period (ca. 4500 B.C.) to the 3rd century A.D. Due to the natural elements in this jewelry, the color of the stones may vary.
