Infuse your jewelry collection with the old world charm of this sterling silver and Roman glass necklace from Israel.
This lovely piece is handmade by a Yemenite silversmith. Carrying on the tradition he learned from his grandfather, this Israeli artist braids together extremely thin strands of silver to create the filigree work. Then he oxidizes the silver to make it look ancient and hand-cuts a shard of ancient Roman glass to give this necklace its dazzling color.

The Roman glass is nearly 2000 years old. A story card explains how the color has accumulated over many centuries of being buried. The glass is regularly unearthed by archaeologists sifting through the remains of Roman Empire cities. Those shards without museum value may be bought by artisans.
The handcrafted nature of this product will produce slight variations in color, form, and sizing. All measurements are approximate.
Please do not get your jewelry wet. Treat it as if it were 2,000 years old. Avoid rubbing the glass, as oils from your hands may alter its color and remove its luster. Clean the silver with a cloth, but try not to rub the ancient glass. Buy Now! |
