This splendid coin is set in an 18-karat gold
pendant and strung in a necklace with two
strands of garnet beads, two strands of coral
beads and a central strand of green jasper
beads. In the later Roman Empire, the more
refined Classical tradition in jewelry was
influenced by bold barbarian tastes to create a
new and dramatic style. The emperors and
empresses of Rome appeared in public wearing
colorful jewels that brought together rare
treasures from every corner of the Empire. This
stunning necklace is very much in that dazzling
tradition. It is meant for a woman who enjoys a
touch of the dramatic in her life.
