Rafael Jewelry Sterling Silver and Roman Glass Round Jerusalem Necklace
This stunning piece of sterling silver jewelry prominently features the Holy City of Jerusalem. It is formed in a circle around the pendant symbolizing that Jerusalem's spirituality has no beginning and no end. Jerusalem is in relief giving it a visual 3D effect and making it very tactile. At the center of this pendant is a piece of authentic 2000 year old Roman Glass found buried across the Holy Land.
Diameter: 1/2 inch | 1.3 cm
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.
