Roman Glass is an ancient glass from the mid 1^st century B.C. to the late 6^th century A.D., discovered in archaeological excavation sites in Mediterranean countries where the Roman Empire once ruled. Uncovered from ancient Roman archaeological sites in modern-day Israel, each fragment has been textured and colored by centuries of wind and weather. Each bears the marks of not only its past life as a household or temple object but also the very earth in which it rested until being transformed into a unique piece of history.

The Roman Glass used for jewelry today 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 has given it the unique and beautiful shades we enjoy.

Initially, in the Roman Empire, glass was mainly used for vessels and originally available only for the wealthy. At that time, glass was manufactured by core forming, casting, cutting and grinding. Since the discovery of glass blowing, the glass was mass produced and available to the public in a large variety of shapes and forms.

Due to the great popularity of glass during those ancient times, we today are privileged to make use of these gorgeous historical pieces that were used by every class of people from rich to slaves. The 2,000 year old glass could have been part of a perfume bottle, vase, jug, platter, or vessel.

Ancient Israel, due to its large stretches of sand dunes and beaches, was one of the largest glass producers of the Roman Empire. These same sand dunes and beaches also helped preserve the glass through the centuries which are being used in our jewelry today.
