The color of the twilit sky, this exquisite garnet is brought to full perfection by the mellow glow of gold. The love of ornament is as old as civilization itself, and jewels of gold combined with garnet were especially popular in the classical world. We can only imagine the lovely neck this pendant adorned when Rome ruled the world. Surely that ancient woman was as touched by the beauty of this piece as we are today. Such timeless elegance transcends the ages and unites us directly with a life lived long ago. - (SJ.0510)
