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 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

Intact vases, jugs, and other 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.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHERE DOES THE GLASS COME FROM?

The glass is excavated in Israel, in archeological sites dating back to the period of the Romans, who refined glass-making and were leaders in developing the glass making industry roughly 2000 years ago. It was an industrial revolution and Israel became a major glass-making center. Glass, once rarity found only in the homes of royalty and the wealthy, became a common household object, used for everyday items such as plates, bowls, and jars.

ISN'T THERE A LIMITED SUPPLY OF THIS GLASS?

True, the supply is not infinite and the glass cannot be manufactured artificially. However, Israel is one of the few locations in the world in which a series of geological and climatic phenomena coincide - enabling the formation and preservation of the strikingly colorful glass. Two thousand years of contact with mineral-rich soil couples with oxidation to form the precious glass.

WHY IS EACH PIECE SHAPED A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY?

The fragment of glass inlaid in each piece of jewelry was originally part of a plate, vase, cup, or other household or temple object used two thousand years ago. Each object was hand-blown glass. This accounts for the slight variation of shape and thickness of the glass fragments.

WHY IS EACH PIECE COLORED DIFFERENTLY?

The glass has been exposed to oxide rich damp soil for close to 2000 years. This exposure results in the formation of the colorful outer layer (patina). Colors vary depending on the minerals and the conditions to which the glass has been exposed. Each and every piece of glass is unique.

IS THERE ANY SPECIAL TREATMENT REQUIRED?

Roman Glass jewelry should be treated as any other fine jewel. Creations with inlaid fragments of glass coated with a layer of natural patina should not come into contact with water or liquid polish. A bit of rain won't hurt, but it's best to remove the jewelry before bathing or swimming.
