Roman Glass Jewelry
One of the most beautiful lines of jewelry today is the Roman Glass jewelry. The setting of this amazing glass in jewelry pieces adds color and authenticity to the jewel. Roman glass can be found throughout the territory of the once large and ruling Roman Empire, yet in large quantities can be found mostly in the Judean desert in Israel. The unique aqua color of the glass is the product of the amazing elements of nature which has bestowed these wonderful color patterns and shapes after centuries of delicate chemical processes.
In the modern jewelry market, Roman Glass is being used to decorate all sorts of jewelry pieces creating a large variety of Roman Glass jewelry, from Roman Glass necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings to beautiful Jewish pendants and Judaica gifts. To assure customers that the glass is real, most manufacturers and jewelers supply a certificate of authenticity with each Roman Glass piece.
History of Roman Glass
A wide range of Roman glass objects have been recovered across what once was the Roman Empire. During those ancient times, Glass was mainly used for the production of different vessels, although decorative mosaic tiles and window glass could also be found. The development of Roman glass production was initially from Hellenistic technical traditions, where the concentration was on producing powerfully colored cast glass vessels of all kinds, for domestic, industrial and even funerary purposes. The fast technical growth which this industry underwent throughout the first century AD primarily included the new glass blowing technique and the growing popularity of colorless or aqua colored glass. Towards the end of the first century AD, as the manufacture of raw glass was done on a large scale, it became a common accessible material across the Roman world. By the beginning of the second century AD, the industry of glass making reached its peak, producing glass objects of every kind for domestic use. In addition, there was a significant increase in the use of colored glass as an adornment to pale or colorless glass.
Roman Glass Jewelry Today
Although Roman Glass can be found on many jewelry pieces, perhaps the most unique form of Roman Glass jewelry are the Roman Glass Jewish pendants. The combination of the ancient Roman Glass with various Jewish symbols is absolutely breathtaking.
As most of the Roman Glass pieces are found in the land of Israel, it is a perfect addition to pendants bearing ancient meaningful Jewish symbols. These symbols include the Star of David, Hamsa, Chai, and unique Jerusalem pendants. This beautiful combination holds deep meaning as the glass comes from a time in history which every Jew longs for – a time when the holy temple stood.
This 2,000 year old glass is not only beautiful, it is a true artifact of nature. The feeling of wearing such an ancient adornment, from the time of the holy second temple, is second to none. When wearing it, one can actually imagine what that specific piece was used for in ancient times, from goblets and vases to window decorations or even jewelry pieces so as the one he owns. Also, one can have a sense of belonging to an ancient time in history, a feeling of being a link in a long chain, connecting him to the people otherwise only learned about in history.
One of the characteristics of this gorgeous glass is the uniqueness of every piece. When referring to Roman Glass jewelry, no two pieces are similar. As nature is the cause for this magnificent phenomenon, the exact shade and pattern of the glass is never the same. Thus, when purchasing such a jewel, you can rest assured that it is literally a one of a kind jewel.
Furthermore, this special glass appears to have multiple facets, each bearing a slightly different shade of mostly aqua blue and green. This causes the jewel to appear different from every angle. No jeweler could have made such marvelous pieces, which even to its owner, looks different every time. It is very unlikely for a person to tire of such a divine jewel, as it seems renewed with each glance. Also, every so often, a truly remarkable piece is found, rare in color, texture and size. This is a real treat for expert artists who use this glass to produce truly incredible pieces.
In conclusion, there is no doubt that this is a perfect adornment to all jewelry styles, from modern to classic and ethnic, creating a fabulous wide range of Roman Glass jewelry.
