Origin: Europe Circa: 18 th Century AD to 19 th Century AD Collection: Jewelry Style: Classical Revival Coin Earrings Medium: Gold and Garnet The intricate craftsmanship of this stunning pair of gold earrings aspires to recreate the glories of antiquity. Created during the Classical Revival, a period where modern Europe looked towards the past and reinterpreted the ancient forms of Greece and Rome anew. This trend was the product of a heightened comprehension and increased awareness of the treasures of the past derived from excavations in the new scientific field of archaeology. Perhaps the Classical Revival also reveals a latent longing towards the Arcadian lifestyles of yesterday abandoned as Europe rapidly industrialized and urbanized. Thus, the gold of these earrings becomes even more spectacular. The centerpiece of these earrings are a pair of gold coins imitating the style of those minted under Roman Emperor Diocletian. As the world changes, doubt and fears over the future forced some to look towards the simpler times of antiquity for security and inspiration. The lasting popularity of the Revival is surely also influenced by the creation of a new class of noveau riche aristocrats attempting to connect with the language and style of wealth and the elegant aura of Greece and Rome. A woman wearing these earrings evokes both the image of a Roman priestess in a toga and a Victorian princess in an evening gown. Overall, these earrings demonstrate that the timeless beauty of a classic never goes out of style. - (FJ.7253)   « Less

Origin: Austria Circa: 1908 AD Collection: Jewelry Style: Coin Pendant Medium: Gold For thousands of years, kings and emperors have adorned their coinage with symbols of power and majesty. This token, minted by the emperor Franz Josef during the light of the Hapsburg Dynasty, continues in that long tradition. On one side, the emperor is shown wearing state robes, carrying the orb and scepter; on the other, winged angels support a coat of arms topped by an imperial crown. Such a coin evokes the glittering splendors of Vienna, the last golden moment when Europe teetered on the brink of the modern age but still looked to its glorious past. - (FJ.0315)   « Less
