Uncovered after 2000 years: one-of-a-kind wearable history...direct from a Roman Empire archaeological dig.

At its peak, the mighty Roman Empire ruled the Western world. The Romans created a civilization rich with culture, art and design. One of their most influential accomplishments was the creation of iridescent, marbled glass.

Over 2,000 years ago, Romans raised this handicraft into an colorful method for sculpting extraordinary objects for its citizens. Master craftsmen created dazzling works of art including ornate vessels, elaborate jugs and a variety of decorative items for Emperors and the elite. When the Empire collapsed, a precious few of the glass masterpieces were reclaimed by the earth. The Stauer Roman Glass was found in an archaeological dig in the Holy Land and dates approximately to the time of Christ.

A natural transformation turns glass into treasure.

After centuries buried in mineral-rich soil, a thin iridescent layer of patina formed on the surface of the glass artifacts. The oxidation process took over a 1,000 years to unleash a rainbow of color, from shimmering pinks and purples to brilliant blues and greens. Each piece of antique glass developed a unique coloring, reflecting light with a beautiful, opal-like multi-hued glow.
