I wonder about the Roman woman who actually wore this elegant necklace some 1,800 years ago ~ it features lilac amethysts and small green emeralds, with gold shield-shaped links, & is attributed to the 3rd century https://britishmuseum.org/collection/object/G_1917-0601-2749?selectedImageId=303558001
