Roman Glass Jewelry brings you to the magic and mystery of this historic period over 2000 years ago! Because of increase in the amount of glass objects produced in the First Century, today Roman Glass is found in throughout the Mediterranean and Near East. The centuries of contact with the soil give the glass a uniquely iridescent patina that makes it a perfect material for beautiful jewelry. Caring for Roman Glass Jewelry Do not get Roman Glass jewelry wet. The weathering of the glass over time and the glass composition create the beautiful iridescence (the shimmering rainbow-like colors) and light encrustation of the surface of the glass. If the glass gets wet, the encrustation on the surface of the glass will deteriorate and it will no longer have the beautiful iridescence which makes it so desirable as a striking piece of jewelry.

Handmade with natural materials, and without the excessive prices. Gemstone beads exude positive energy unique to specific minerals.
