Rich and glowing as the moon on a summer evening, these two golden crescents are elegantly simple in their design. The woman who wore them when the Roman Empire was at its height probably gave no thought to the timeless good taste of her jewels. She no doubt chose them to draw subtle attention to her beauty. When we gaze upon these earrings today, we think of that roman lady, whoever she was, and her loveliness is briefly reborn. - (SJ.0428)
