This pair of earrings with Roman coins is made of pewter and is gold plated with 22k gold. The coins depict the Emperor Domitian and the earrings come on hypoallergenic hooks. They are mounted on an information card, which has a fresco of a Roman woman on the front and a description of Roman motifs and jewellery trends on the reverse.
Motifs of animals, birds and fish adorned the homes of wealthy Romans in mosaics, architecture and jewellery. This beautiful collection of earrings was inspired by these designs from ancient Rome.
Roman women loved to wear jewellery. They were usually made of gold, silver, pearls and colored stones such as amber, topaz or gagate. They wore necklaces, earrings, bracelets, tiaras and rings. Men originally wore only one ring. However, as the empire expanded and trade routes brought more precious metals and stones, men began to wear more jewellery along with social changes.
