| Description |
Throughout the classical age, jewelry that blended
the rich glow of gold with the deep red luster of
garnet was greatly prized. During the long twilight
of the Roman Empire, some unknown individual
wore this charming ring with its bold geometric
shapes. It is so small that we might assume its
owner was a child, though the bone structure of
the ancients was considerably smaller than it is
today. Perhaps no other clue to that vanished life
survives, yet when we hold this lovely jewel in our
hands, we remember the hands it graced so long
ago.
