Glass jewelry may not sound valuable, but if it's glass jewelry from nineteen hundred years ago it can have a value that goes way beyond what it might sell for on eBay. Jewelry, coins and vases found in a village outside Jerusalem point to the presence of a Jewish community in the area from 70 to 132 CE, when the community suddenly disappears.

Why is this significant? Because it is commonly assumed that Jews fled the area around Jerusalem after Romans sacked the city in 70 (depicted on the Arch of Titus, below).

Now most people won't be able fo find, let alone wear, authentic jewelry from this era or before, but it's not uncommon to find ancient Jewish coins converted into rings.
