A good idea for an easy to make and durable bracelet with lots of stones / beads. Both bracelets have a core (a base) made of reeds.

From Egypt period

Two pairs of earrings found in a case with a hoard of coins in the House of Menander in .
First pair is made of gold with emeralds, second pair is made of gold inlaid with dark green glass (a similar technique was used for earrings with glass from Boscoreale).
