At the height of the Roman Empire, Aquamarine
was one of the favorite gems worn by the
nobility. Its pale brilliance was compared to the
color of sunlight on a calm sea, and it was
thought to bring peace and tranquility to the
wearer. This exquisite necklace blends the soft
glow of aqua with bright gold and a silver coin
from Rome’s Golden Age. Such a jewel would
have caused a sensation in the palaces of
Ancient Rome. It will certainly have the same
effect wherever it is worn today.
