Glass rings and bracelets 3rd century B.C.–4th century A.D. Greek and Roman In prehistoric times, naturally occurring glass, called obsidian, was used not only for weapons and tools but also for objects of personal adornment. After the invention of glassmaking, similar objects were fashioned in man-made glass, or a combination of glass and other precious materials. Hellenistic jewelry is characterized by intricate gold patterns augmented by bits of semi-precious stone and colorful inlay elements. Etruscan jewelry is also renowned for its masterfully crafted goldwork. Roman jewelry has been described as an amalgamation of Eastern and Etruscan jewelry styles, combining the use of colored stones favored in the East with manipulated goldwork typical of Etruscan jewelry. The Romans greatly favored the use of stone and glass in their jewelry, and expanded the Hellenistic tradition by focusing on the visual effects multicolored bits of stone and glass could achieve in their own right.

Because of its remarkable adaptability and potential to imitate more precious materials, glass offered a uniquely affordable alternative to the expensive items favored by the aristocracy without losing any of the visual appeal for which such materials were favored. Jewelry made entirely of glass, such as many of these rings and bracelets, had wide appeal in Roman society. The availability of relatively inexpensive glass jewelry enabled less affluent Romans to follow imperial and arist
