In the palaces of Ancient Rome, beautiful women adorned themselves with rare jewels that drew out their natural charms. The secret of a great jewel is that it calls attention to the wearer, rather than to itself. This unusual necklace surely would have delighted the beauties of that ancient empire. It is dramatic but subtle, luxurious but simple, elegant without ostentation, timeless in its sensibilities. It is destined to adorn a woman who appreciates the classics.
