A one-of-a-kind piece combining ancient Roman glass, sterling silver and Palestinian poetry.
At the centre of this bracelet is a fragment of ancient Roman glass, originating from an antique glass object that spent centuries buried underground. Over time, interaction between the glass, moisture and minerals in the soil created the iridescent blue, green and turquoise tones that make every fragment different.
Its shape, colours and iridescence are the result of its individual history, meaning this fragment can never be reproduced exactly.
Mahmoud Darwish’s words
On either side of the glass are two sterling silver 925 medallions engraved with a celebrated verse by Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish:
على هذه الأرض ما يستحق الحياة
“On this earth, there is that which deserves life.”
The medallions can also be personalised with another text of your choice, creating an even more personal piece.
Only one available
The bracelet is entirely handcrafted by Ahmad, a Palestinian jeweller working in Jerusalem’s Old City.
He combines the ancient Roman glass fragment with a sterling silver 925 setting, chain and two medallions, individually worked by hand in his workshop.
Only one example of this bracelet exists. Once sold, this exact design cannot be recreated with the same piece of ancient glass.
Ancient Roman glass is delicate. Avoid impacts and contact with water, perfume, cosmetics and chemical products.
Keep the bracelet dry and gently clean the silver with a soft, dry cloth, without rubbing or applying cleaning products to the ancient glass.
