Roman Glass

Ahmad offers you a collection of authentic Roman glass jewelry, dating back more than 2000 years. At that time, Rome had conquered the entire Mediterranean and made Jerusalem, because of its strategic position and abundance of sand, its industrial center for glass manufacturing. Palestine was then a major center of glass production. Each piece of jewelry began its life as a household vase, a water jug, a dish or an urn more than 2000 years ago. At the time, it was transparent glass but by being buried underground for 2000 years, the different minerals in the soil naturally colored the glass making them all unique (cobalt gave the blue color, iron shades of green, etc.). So, you will elegantly wear an aquatic-colored jewel containing a unique and authentic millennia-old history.
