<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3151152, member: 19463"]I would suggest that a one and only Roman glass set of ear rings could be found with prettier glass and set into a mount that would protect the shard from becoming what Valentinian described as smithereens. I have never seen a glass piece just drilled and mounted on a wire like those so I would keep looking. More are at least wire wrapped. A Google search on 'roman glass earrings' shows many of what I recall seeing over the years but I have no opinion on which are real and which are not.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do not know your girlfriend but I hope you know what metals she will/can use for earrings.
