These simple loops of twisted gold once adorned a beauty of the classical age. We can imagine them subtly reflecting the light as she went about the tasks of daily life, drawing attention to her charms. Just as when the ancient world was at its height, any woman today might wear these jewels in full confidence of their elegance. Mighty empires have come and gone since then, but these golden talismans remain eternally lovely as the moon.
