The breathtaking shards of glass used in this jewelry date from 100 BCE to 300 CE. They were unearthed in Israel by archaeologists sifting through the fallen pillars and once magnificent cities of the Roman Empire.
How to Care for Your Roman Glass Jewelry:
PLEASE DO NOT GET IT WET. TREAT IT AS IF IT WERE 2,000 YEARS OLD. PLEASE DON'T GO SWIMMING IN IT. DON'T SHOWER IN IT. DON'T HAIRSPRAY NEAR IT. TRY NOT TO EVEN TOUCH IT TOO MUCH BECAUSE YOUR HANDS HAVE OILS ON THEM WHICH COULD AFFECT THE COLOR OF THE GLASS. THE GLASS IS ORGANIC AND IS STILL REACTING WITH THE ENVIRONMENT. Water can dissolve those beautiful layers of patina that were created ever so slowly and miraculously over two thousand years. As in the archaeological digs in England, your glass can lose its luster. It is really best not to get it wet. To clean the jewelry, polish the silver or gold with a cloth but try not to touch the glass.
