Poor workmanship

cowboydog from Arizona, Jan 9, 2008

I've purchased Roman glass from Overstock before, so I was therefore surprised at the poor workmanship displayed on this necklace.

Looks small and somewhat cheap

cezzell from Greenville, KY, Jan 8, 2008

I loved the idea of giving my sister, a lover of history, a necklace containing glass from the Roman Empire! And, it was a beautiful piece (at least in the picture). When I received it, my heart sunk. It's so small and light--the copper chain so cheap-looking. My sister still loved it because of its uniqueness and she believes that with time the copper chain's appearance will improve.
