This exclusive collection contains our most unique pieces. Each is offered in the purest 22 or 24 Karat yellow gold, the luminous materials used by ancient Mediterranean metalsmiths to create their precious jewelry.
Our collection includes stunning rings and earrings that faithfully recall the ancient designs. The earrings are particularly notable, for ancient earrings had truly distinctive hooks and closures. Roman hooks, for example, are long and “S” shaped, containing one curve more than our current earring hooks. While they may take a moment to learn to insert, these earrings are sure to soon become favorites, because the hooks are incredibly stable, simultaneously keeping the earrings in place and preventing them from falling out of the ear. Ingenious!
Other earrings in this collection may only be made out of 24 Karat gold. 24 Karat gold is very soft, and the Romans celebrated this facet of the metal by creating earrings that could be twisted, pulled, or otherwise manipulated in order to secure them in place. Once inserted, they are the most comfortable earrings to wear. Our collection revives these incredible Roman earrings, and we are thrilled to offer them here.
