"And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites..." - Mark 12:42

This beloved Biblical story becomes real with the gift of a genuine restored mite that existed 2000 years ago in ancient Israel. 

Perfect for the woman in your life who "giveth all she hath"

WIDOW'S MITE DETAILS

This genuine mite has been cleaned and restored after excavation. 

Widow's Mite - Jewish Bronze Coin

From archeological excavations, we know that the vast majority of bronze coins circulating in Jerusalem in the lifetime of Jesus were the Jewish leptons of prutot, minted from the time of the Maccabean kings, until Pontius Pilate.

Any small, Jewish, bronze coin struck before the crucifixion can be legitimately called a “widow’s mite.”

 

*Due to the ancient origins of excavated mites, pieces will vary in look, texture, shape, size, and details. The mites are treated with the utmost care to preserve the natural look. There are no guarantees any designs will be strongly visible due to the limited equipment the Romans had access to over 2,000 years ago, and being buried for that amount of time.

2000-YEAR-OLD GLASS REBORN

The ancient excavated glass shards used in this unique jewelry collection began life as a household vase, water jug, or temple vessel.

EXPLORE THE ROMAN GLASS COLLECTION

Roma Designer Jewelry

2000-YEAR-OLD EXCAVATED GLASS

The Romans established ancient glass-making centers in and around Jerusalem because of the abundance of resources (sand) and skilled labor.

The excavated glass pieces used in this unique jewelry collection began life as a household vase, water jug, or temple vessel.

The items belonged to real, living, breathing human beings - who lived their lives in and around Jerusalem 2000 years ago at the time of Jesus Christ and the reign of the Roman Empire.

Roma Designer Jewelry

REBORN AS GORGEOUS JEWELRY

Rarely, unbroken vases, jugs, plates and temple vessels are excavated and displayed in museums or auctioned to antiquities collectors.

More commonly, though, the glass is discovered in broken shards. Instead of being discarded as useless, we take the broken fragments and they are carefully cataloged, meticulously cleaned, and reborn as meaningful and unique jewelry.

Ancient coins (mites) are also unearthed and given new life as "widow's mite" pieces in our collection.

*Certificate of Authenticity included

    Awesome pendant

    Beautiful and unique pendant. Love the way it looks, especially when wearing it. Also like that there are two different sides to the pendant that are a piece of history.

    Reversible Roman Glass and Widow’s Mite Pendant

    I love my reversible RomanGlass and Widow’s Mite Pendant , it is beautiful and such a treasure! I also purchased the cross with Roman Glass and it’s beautiful. My only wish would of been is that the designer would of put some thought into sealing the glass and mite so it could go into the water other than that I love it., because once it’s on you , you will not want to take it off.

    Beautiful pendant!

    I’ve already received several compliments on this beautiful pendant since receiving it a few short weeks ago. The quality is outstanding! It’s amazing to know that the glass and coin are 2000 years old and so special to own a piece of history. This was my very first Roma Jewelry purchase and I have since joined the monthly jewelry subscription club.

    All my life I’ve heard the story of Jesus with the widow donating her mites. Great reminder of it

    I love it. It's an uncommon jewel but I think I will return it for another. There is a chip of glass that is missing on it and for the price I paid I want a complete piece. 🙄

    Reversible roman glass and widows mite pendant

    Roman glass was great quality and great color. My wife and I would have liked the widows mite better, if it had been left original with its patina rather than having it cleaned and restored.
