战汉时期琉璃项链。战汉时期指自战国至汉武帝之间的一段时期。稀有的宝石蓝耳珰腰鼓形琉璃，微微泛有七彩蛤蜊光。《汉书.西域传》注：“琉璃色泽光润，逾于众玉。”意为五光十色的琉璃比玉还要光亮美丽。中国古代最初制作琉璃的材料，是从青铜器铸造时产生的副产品中获得的，经过提炼加工然后制成琉璃。琉璃的颜色多种多样，古人也叫它“五色石”。古时由于民间很难得到，所以当时人们把琉璃甚至看成比玉器还要珍贵。其制作是在1400多度的高温下烧制而成，经过十多道手工工艺的精修细磨，整个过程纯为手工制作，在高温1000℃以上的火炉上将水晶琉璃母石熔化后而自然凝聚成高贵华丽、天工自拙的琉璃。其色彩流云漓彩、美轮美奂；品质晶莹剔透、光彩夺目。

This necklace dates back to the Warring States and Han Dynasty period (approx. 475 BCE – 87 CE). It features rare, sapphire-blue ear ornaments (Er Dang) crafted from waist-drum-shaped glass, emanating a subtle, iridescent “clam-shell” luster (Gali Guang). As noted in the Book of Han: Traditions of the Western Regions: “The luster and color of glass are so radiant that they surpass even the finest jade,” highlighting that the vibrant beauty of ancient glass was once held in higher regard than jade itself.

In ancient China, the earliest glass was derived and refined from by-products of the bronze casting process. Known as “Five-Colored Stone,” glass was exceptionally rare among the common people and was considered a treasure of immense value.

Each piece was fired at temperatures exceeding 1400°C and underwent more than ten stages of meticulous manual refining. The entire process remains purely artisanal: crystal glass “mother stones” are melted in furnaces at temperatures above 1000°C, allowing them to naturally coalesce into noble and magnificent forms. The resulting colors flow like drifting clouds and shimmering silk—ethereal, crystalline, and breathtakingly radiant.
