DETAILS: The Romans also used silver coins to pay their legionary armies. The coins were also used for most daily transactions by administrators and traders throughout the empire. Roman silver coins served as an important means of political propaganda. Extolling the virtues of Rome and her emperors, and offering historians realistic portraitures of Rome’s Emperors. Many public works and architectural achievements were also depicted(among them the Coliseum, the Circus Maximus) some are known only because of their depictions on those coins. In addition many important political events were recorded on the coinage. Roman coins depicted the assassination of Julius Caesar, alliances between cities, between emperors, between armies, etc. And many contenders for the throne of Rome are known only through their coinage. By the second century A.D. historians estimate that there were 3½ billion silver coins in circulation through the Roman Empire. Produced by over 400 mints. The stability of Rome’s economy and currency depended primarily on the output of the silver mines in Spain which they had wrested from the Carthaginians. In celebration of that heritage here are two gorgeous, high quality solid sterling silver endless hoop earrings. Please do not confuse these with cheap silver. These are high-quality, solid sterling silver earrings made right here in the USA, crafted to last a lifetime. HISTORY OF SILVER: After gold.

DETAILS: The ancient Egyptians believed that the skin of their gods was composed of gold. And their bones were thought to be of silver. When silver was introduced into Egypt, it probably was more valuable than gold(silver was rarer and more valuable than gold in many Mesoamerican cultures as well) In surviving inventories of valuables, items of silver were listed above those of gold during the Old Kingdom. Jewelry made of silver was almost always thinner than gold pieces, as indicated by the bracelets of the 4th Dynasty(about 2,500 B.C. Queen Hetephere I, in marked contrast to the extravagance of her heavy gold jewelry. A silver treasure excavated by archaeologists and attributable to the reign of Amenemhat II who ruled during the 12th Dynasty(about 1900 B.C.

The creator came down to Earth on a rainbow, and at the very spot, where his foot touched the ground, the stones became alive and started sparkling in all the colors of the rainbow. That was the birth of the opals, also known as the“fire of the desert” In the ancient world, the Mayas and Aztecs called opal the“bird of paradise stone” In the classical Mediterranean World, it was thought that opals were actually bits of rainbows which had fallen from the skies. Ancient Greeks, amongst many other ancient cultures, thought opals gave their owner the gift of prophecy and foresight, and prevented diseases. Early Persians and Arabs believed opals fell from the heavens in flashes of lightning(which accounted for their fiery play-of-color) and when worn as a talisman, would protect against lightening strikes. Celebrating this cultural inheritance we offer an absolutely gorgeous, natural"black" opal from Australia originally produced in the 1920's. This is a very uncommon gemstone, difficu

Pendant, or as earrings(click for more information) DETAIL: Rubies were amongst the earliest gemstones traded by mankind. Since the 5th millennium B.C. From the most ancient times all the way through the medieval world, ruby was worn by the classical Mediterranean civilizations(Greeks, Romans, Persians, and the Indo-European“Celtic” peoples) as an amulet for protection from lightening, plagues, poison, sorrow, and evil spirits. The ancient populations of the Mediterranean also believed that the color of a ruby would change mirroring changes in the health of its owner, and that the color would drain from a ruby at the moment its owner died. The Bible makes numerous mentions of ruby, first as one of the twelve precious stones created by God when he created mankind. Ruby is then described as“the lord of gems” when one was given to Aaron on the command of God. In the classical world, rubies from Afghanistan, Ceylon, and Burma were traded in the ancient port cities of the Eastern Mediterranean(often by Phoenicians) and from there traveled throughout Europe. Celebrating mankind's cultural and historical legacy here's a remarkable and beautiful antique ruby precious gemstone. The gemstone was hand shaped and polished by an 18th century Russian artisan. Part of an heritage renown for the production of the elaborate gemstones and jewelry of the Czars of Medieval, Renaissance, and Victorian Russia. The ruby gemstone is transparent, but as you can see, not entirely without blemish. In fact them gemstone is quite typical in quality and character of eighteenth century ruby precious gemstones.

The Celtic ... moreworld. As it existing in three separate countries with a common spirit and tradition; Ireland, Wales, and Brittany, is brilliantly revealed in these exciting epic chronicles with 120 evocative photographs of artifacts, manuscripts, and landscapes that bring the Celtic world to life as never before. Ireland, land of ancient warriors who value nothing higher than fame and courage as they battle magical forces pitted against them. Ancient warriors whose deeds are as noble and mysterious as the hill forts and standing stones scattered around the landscape. Ancient warriors whose love of exaggeration and boasting compare with the most extravagant blarney. These are the Celts revealed by the early Irish chronicles. Wales. A land of bands and druids hemmed into a beautiful, mountainous country where King Arthur roamed with his knights. The Welsh warriors saw themselves as defenders of the west, heroes who would one day hurl the foreign oppressors back into the sea. These dramatic chronicles date back to the Middle Ages, but they are truly much older than that. They tell of love and betrayal, of quests and challenges, of supernatural creatures and of murder. Battling dragons. Tyrants, and sorcerers, the warriors of Brittany were people of the sea. Hermits, missionaries, mystics, they passed down their tales of mystery and magic orally through the centuries. They are captured here from a time when the old pagan days were dying out, and the secret, supernatural skeins of the early mystical Celts were quickly attaching themselves to a new religion.

NOTES: Upon request we can set your gemstones as a ring. Pendant, or as earrings(click for more information) DETAIL: Historical and archaeological evidence indicates that tourmaline was exported from Ceylon to ancient Israel as early as the time of King Solomon. And may have adorned the crown of the Queen of Sheba. Tourmaline occurred in many of the ancient mines that yielded precious gemstones in the ancient Roman world 2,000 years ago, however it was mistaken for(and thus called) emerald or topaz(or in some cases, perhaps ruby) However tourmaline was correctly identified and described in the ancient world by Theophrastus of Ancient Greece(student and successor of Plato and Aristotle) in 314 B.C. The name“tourmaline” came from the Celanese word"turmali, which means"mixed" Bright rainbow collections of gemstone varieties were called"turmali" parcels. In ancient mythology, tourmaline was found in all colors because it traveled along a rainbow and gathered all the rainbow's colors. You’ll likely never. Ever see a gemstone as unique as this. A brightly colored and textured tourmaline gemstone from Siberia, the Ural Mountains of Russia.
