"The Roman Glass pendant is absolutely Beautiful! Most of the time, I have found, if there is any Roman Glass in a piece of jewelry it is tiny. This looks even more beautiful than the picture! I visited Israel in 1981 and purchased several pieces of jewelry. The pendants I purchased here brought back many wonderful memories."
