What is Roman Glass Jewelry? Meaning, History & Israeli Handmade Jewelry

What is Roman Glass Jewelry?

Roman glass jewelry is made from ancient glass discovered in Israel, dating back over 2,000 years to the Roman Empire. Each piece has unique shimmering colors formed naturally over time, making every item one of a kind.

The History of Roman Glass

The Roman glass is a beautiful piece of history dating back 2,000 years to the time of the Roman Empire. The Roman Glass used for jewelry today in Israel is found in archeological digs throughout the land of Israel. The natural phenomenon which the glass has undergone over the many years it has been buried have given it the unique and beautiful aqua shades we enjoy today in Roman Glass earrings, Roman glass necklaces and bracelets. Initially, in the Roman empire, glass was mainly used for vessels and available only for the wealthy. At that time, glass was manufactured by core forming, casting, cutting and grinding. However, since the invention of the glass blowing, glass was available to the public in vast numbers, mass produced in a large variety of shapes and forms.

Each piece of Roman glass is framed by a sterling silver bezel to create a unique Roman glass jewel.
