Splendid classical revival earrings in the late Roman style composed of almost pure gold set with genuine garnets. And incorporating copies after the coinage of the Emperor Diocletian.

These dazzling earrings echo accurately and beautifully the imperial fashion of the late Roman Empire. The court historians of this period speak of the emperors and empresses arrayed in gleaming gold and brilliant jewels that dazzled the populace. It was also the fashion to incorporate coin portraits into jewelry as a symbol of political allegiance. Diocletian, who reigned between ad 284 and 305, was a great reformer and visionary. His efforts shaped the face of history for centuries to come. It is easy to imagine these glorious jewels adorning a roman lady of fashion. The lady who wears them today, whatever her origins, is certain to be at the forefront of style.
