Rafael Jewelry Silver Entwined Ropes Roman Glass Cufflinks
Cufflinks are an elegant accessory for any shirt. These are carefully crafted by one of Jerusalem's best known and trusted jewelers. The entwined ropes look as if they have been spun and form the perfect setting for 2000 year old Roman Glass.
Roman Glass is found in archeological active places throughout the Holy Land. It is dated at approximately 2000 years old. The weathering of the glass over time and the glass composition is what creates the beautiful iridescence (the shimmering rainbow-like colors) exhibited by the glass. This results in a light encrustation of the surface of the glass. Because the jewelry designer uses only a thin piece of glass it is very delicate. If the glass gets wet, the encrustation on the surface of the glass will deteriorate and it will no longer have the beautiful iridescence which makes it so desirable as a striking piece of jewelry.
