An elegant twist to classic silver button posts, these earrings feature a triangular shard of iridescent blue Roman glass, a lustrous peridot cabochon, and a vibrant faceted amethyst. The clean lines of the geometric bezels grant an avant garde quality to these lustrous earrings--a lot of style for a little circle. Please choose from post or clip-on styles.
A story card explains how color accumulates in Roman glass. 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.
This set is made in a small studio near Haifa, Israel. Its eight members include Israelis, Bedouin women, and Russian emigres--a small, multicultural community that has held together through the strife around them.
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.
