The glass fragments were found on ancient sites in the Holy Land. The use and sale of these fragments is controlled by the governmental authorities in the Middle East. The fragments vary widely in color, shape and markings. Each piece shows the hundreds of years of wear and each has many scratches, chips and marks that add to their individuality. The spectrum of colors which appear on the glass were formed over hundreds of years.
Colors range from transparent to blues and greens.
The beautiful colors are the result of the combined effects of climatic conditions and the surrounding earth in which the glass was embedded. Today we are featuring a beautiful circular brooch that can also be worn as pendant. The bale to attach the chain is hidden behind the body of the pin. It is mounted is a custom made frame of sterling silver. A genuine amethyst is set above the glass to accent the beauty of the stone.
