2000 Year Old Roman Glass Hammered David's Harp

This beautiful pendant features stunning hues of blue and green 2000 year old Roman Glass with lightly hammered sterling silver design 'David's Heart'. Roman glass is a rare material discovered in archaeological excavations around Israel. Glass was once a prized commodity reserved for royalty and the wealthy, but became increasingly common throughout the Roman Empire. Israel is one of the few places in the world where geological and climatic conditions coincide to enable the formation of what we call Roman Glass. Over time, the buried glass shards absorb minerals from the surrounding soil, and the soil’s unique mineral content creates an exquisite ‘patina’ – the delicate coloring of this precious material.
