Ancient Roman Glass Jewelry

But during the 1st century AD, glass was being made by blowing in a blow pipe an inflating molten glass into a bubble. Glass production became faster and more vessels were being made. In excavated Roman glass you find the element of nature and the centuries of chemical processes has bestowed a rainbow patina on the surface of each piece of glass. Some pieces in our collection the patina has been washed to leave the pale aqua colored glass. This collection is handmade with sterling silver in Israel and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
