Roman Glass Drip Earrings and Necklace on Gold (Israel)
The rare shards of Roman glass set in Angie Olami jewelry are 2,000 years old and have been unearthed by archaeologists in Israel on ancient city cites that were once part of the Roman empire. The iridescent colors have evolved gradually over the centuries as part of the glass’s chemical reaction to the sun, water and earth in which it was buried. Today it is best to keep the glass dry, as water may alter or impair the shimmering patina. The designs for the settings are inspired by artifacts discovered on archaeological digs in Israel. All of Angie Olami’s Roman glass jewelry is hand cut from different fragments which makes each piece truly one of a kind.
This earring and necklace set features a beautiful shard of Roman glass set in gold plated sterling silver. Together or separately, they make truly unique gifts!
