Roman Glass Jewelry

When you wear a piece of dazzling Roman glass Jewelry you're not only wearing a piece of colorful jewelry, you are also wearing a piece of history. This piece of history tells quite an amazing story, all you have to do is look deeply into the glass, take in the stunning colors and imagine...


Imagine that hundreds of years ago Roman armies traveled almost half way around the world, conquering vast lands as they go. Imagine their armored chariots, their horses, their leaders. Imagine the Roman's lavish victory parties, food and drink served in newly created aqua-tinted glass bowls, pitchers, and vases. Now think about those same glass wares, either whole or broken in pieces, covered in layers of earth lost and forgotten for centuries, until modern times.

Today, tons and tons of glass pieces have been literally discovered, cleaned from the earth and dirt they were immersed in, shaped into various shapes, and set in gold and silver. The result is beautiful and historic Roman Glass Jewelry that can be seen and enjoyed by all!
