愈是文明之都，愈兴魅力美饰。自人类拥有意识之初，便开始了搜寻各种载体为饰之路：从动物牙齿、植物，发展到如今奢华的金银、翠玉、稀有宝石。而作为中国最早人工合成材料之一的玻璃，发展殊别与西方的实用路线，更多以首饰来表达自身美好，在中国古玻璃发展史上留下了不可磨灭的印记。

古韵悠悠而晶莹剔透的古玻璃饰品，不经意间的别样迷人之气，引古今男女老少，尤其是女子，无不为之动容。一枚小小的玻璃，因能工巧匠精心打造，如赋予了灵动的舞姿，在衣裙摇曳时，带来了举手投足间的美妙展现。

上海玻璃博物馆开辟“珍宝馆”来做古玻璃系列展览，理念源于中国古代的装饰功用与造型的摩登感，加之珠宝饰品的重要性，已远远超越其本身的华美，更体现了文化、信仰、宗教、财富、权利、身份、地位等精神内涵。此刻，玻璃再度华美上演，以古玻璃耳饰之态，在上海玻璃博物馆，带您“穿越”历史，并于耳畔细说她的温婉与抚媚。

The more complex the civilization, the more beautiful its décor. Since developing consciousness, humankind has continued to seek out the full range of mediums for decoration; from humble animal teeth and fruits of times past to luxurious gold, silver, jade and rare gemstones of more recent times.

Of these, Ancient Chinese Glass—as one of the first man-made glass composites in China, which developed separately from that of the west and whose inherent beauty is expressed mainly through jewelry—has left an indelible imprint on the history and development of ancient Chinese glassware

Ancient Chinese Jewelry, in its easy-going rhythmicity, dazzling brightness and inadvertently unique charm, mesmerizes men, women, young and old alike, though it carries a particularly strong power over young women, for whom a tiny glass coin, carved painstakingly by a skilled artisan, can bestow an aura of tremendous beauty—like vivid and lively dance moves—to a skirt as it sways back and forth

The Shanghai Museum of Glass has recently launched the Jewelry Pavillion as a forum for exhibiting China’s finest ancient glassware. It is centered on the fusion of ancient Chinese decorative function with modern sensibilities. It stresses the importance of ancient Chinese jewelry as something that transcends its own innate splendor, unraveling much deeper, spiritual connotations of culture, ideology, religion, wealth, authority, identity and status. The beautiful glassware of ancient times is once again displaying its magnificence at the Shanghai Museum of Glass in the form of ancient Chinese ear jewelry, taking us through history and detailing its gentleness and charm from the edge of the ear.
