Neoclassical Inspiration Jewelry    Neoclassic and Modern Inspirations
 
The discovery in the 1700's of the ruins of Pompei, the ancient city buried by ashes from the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 A.D., revealed an entire urban center preserved from the Roman Imperial era. The exploration of Pompeii stimulated the study and the interest in classical Roman and Greek art and thereby elevated the ideal of absolute beauty and purity of human forms. The designers of this jewelry are a professional creative team in Northern Italy known for their ability in interpreting archeology and ancient art as contemporary jewelry design and accessories.

Each piece is hand-crafted in Italy using the ancient "lost wax" process. All of the jewelry in the collection is sterling silver (.925) and Sterling vermeil. Handmade in Italy
 

Fertility and Victory Pin/Pendant
It was characteristic of the Neoclassic style to use iconography of ancient art and mythological figures to represent esthetic principles that came into use during the Neoclassical era as both private and official symbols. Two of the most common figures were Fertility and Victory.
