When Hadrian built his Imperial villa near Rome, he imported rare and costly materials from the far corners of the Empire to enhance its beauty. Today, even after the passage of centuries, the villa leaves a dramatic impression of unparalleled luxury on the visitor. In this gorgeous necklace, Hadrian’s proud portrait is once again set to perfection amid the gifts of nature. The richness of jasper seems at once very ancient and totally contemporary. This is an ideal adornment for someone who appreciates the Classics.
