Maritime Silk Road Luxuries of the Han Dynasty (1/7)

Museum curator Lian Shiming explains to journalists that this necklace was the first Han Dynasty aquamarine gemstone to be discovered. A crystal clear aquamarine necklace, an exquisite gold bracelet, an amethyst bracelet in bright colors - none of the jewelry pictured comes from modern times, but from the tombs of the Han Dynasty. Buried underground for thousand years, the jewelry preserves its glamor in Hepu Museum in Beihai City.(People's Daily Online/ Weng Qiyu)
