| Description |
At the court of Ancient Byzantium, the nobility
adorned themeselves with rare emeralds set in
gleaming gold. On the famous mosaics of
Ravenna, Justinian and his consort Theodora are
shown wearing these gems among the crown
jewels. Time has not diminished the way the
radiance of the one enhances the rich, cool
depths of the other. A necklace of exquisite
delicacy, fit for the neck of an empress.
