Roman Glass History
Found widely in Israel's Judean desert, Roman glass has been around for around two-thousand years. The Romans, who used glass for vases, pitchers, and goblets, could never imagine that the pieces of glass they left behind would turn into Roman glass jewelry hundreds of years later.
Although glass was used in jewelry making in ancient times, the Roman glass jewelry of antiquity did not look like today's Roman glass jewelry. The iridescent colors that you see on Roman glass jewelry today is a result of hundreds of years of chemical reactions between the once transparent glass and climatic elements underground, were the glass has been buried for centuries.
Roman glass jewelry is where ancient history and modern artistry come together.
