Add a touch of old world charm to any outfit with this Roman Glass necklace.
The centerpiece of the necklace is a delicate rectangle which holds a splendid shard of iridescent, high-quality, ancient Roman glass. Gracefully dangling down from the post is an aquamarine disc enhanced on both the top and bottom by a deep violet iolite bead. A story card explains how color accumulates in Roman glass. The glass is regularly unearthed by archaeologists sifting through the remains of ancient Roman cities. Those shards without museum value may be bought by artisans.
This necklace is made in a small studio near Haifa, Israel. Its eight members include Israelis, Bedouin women, and Russian emigrees.
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! |
