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.
