<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ken Dorney, post: 3150949, member: 76086&quot;]Making jewelry out of broken and ancient glass is an old tradition and I have seen some really nice examples.&nbsp; The examples you show above dont look right and I have to wonder if they are even glass at all.&nbsp; Most ancient glass is very thin (not all of course, but the majority) and no fragment would survive having a hole drilled through it, though I am certain its been done.&nbsp; In cases like this when I question authenticity the first thing I do is look at all the other offerings from the seller.&nbsp; In this case when I did so all the other &#039;antiquities&#039; were clearly fakes.&nbsp; As such I would not buy them.&nbsp; Genuine stuff is out there.&nbsp; Here is one seller who often has glass jewelry:&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/usr/failla_numismatics_inc" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/usr/failla_numismatics_inc" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/usr/failla_numismatics_inc</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Full disclosure:&nbsp; I do know the guy personally, so that may be a conflict of interest, but I can vouch for it all being genuine.&nbsp; I also know his father, who was a diplomatic attache to Israel for many years, which is how Jason got the collecting bug.&nbsp; Let me tell you, his dad has some of the most interesting tales from his years, but that is another story![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
