We care, and not just about the past

ROMAE Jewelry was created by a classical archaeologist and artist who are also mother and daughter. We are a small business, 100% women-owned, and women-run. We operate as a family, so grateful for all of the incredible support we have received, but also hugely aware of our responsibility to support others. ROMAE is committed to social and environmental responsibility, and to giving back in every way we can. ROMAE donates 5% of profits to charitable causes.

We also care about the Classics, the ancient world, and history in general, and want to see these disciplines remain strong within educational institutions, and more accessible to everyone, which is why we support related educational initiatives and student causes. The ancient world belongs to all of us, and it is so incredibly cool. It's our job to keep it alive! In some small way and with our jewelry designs, we hope to help remind the world just how exciting, relevant and relatable the ancient world really is.
