"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.”

PRODUCT DETAILS
  • Pendant Diameter: 5/8"
  • Necklace Length: 17+3"
  • Origin: Made in Israel
  • Other: Includes Certificate of Authenticity

*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

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.

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

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS

★★★★★

Roman Glass speaks to my heart. It's a reminder to me that at some point we all need to be cleaned off, reborn, and reminded of our value.

The history of Roman Glass is my favorite thing about the jewelry. Every time I wear it someone asks because it's so unique and I gush about the history!

I love it ALL!!

I have ordered several items and love them all. I have gifted anklets & adjustable chains. I have both versions of the Widow's Mite pendant and matching Roman glass earrings. My husband even noticed & complimented the Roman glass set (which he bought for our anniversary... ;-D)

Above the beauty and functionality of the jewelry is the service. It cannot be beat!

Love it!

I love this pendant! The widow’s mite is so special because of the story behind it and it is set so beautifully in the silver. And, I just love the Roman glass on the other side! It is so beautiful and is a piece of history.

Beautiful Piece of History

I love this pendant. It is perfect to wear for all occasions. Love the multi colors of the roman glass and the bronze coin is very pretty in the setting. This will be a nice family heirloom to pass down.
