BR6 Gaulish Deer brooch This elegant sterling brooch has been modeled after a bronze original that might have graced a gaulish Princess's cloak… The Celtic leaning towards abstract design over literal realism is beautifully exemplified in this piece--stunning in its simplicity without losing the grace of a doe at rest… |

B11 Athena bracelet This lightweight openwork sterling silver link bracelet incorporates tiny images of the goddess Athena wearing her signiature helmet, itself graced with the image of a recumbant gryphon. Such mastery of detail and artistry was the pride of the Greek colonists of Syracuse in ancient Sicily whence the original coin of about 300 B.C. came. |

CL18 Helios cufflinks The face of the benevolent sun gazes down at us from these cufflinks, after a coin of Rhodes, circa 200 B.C. The famous giant statue called the Colossus of Rhodes depicted him hundreds of feet high in the town harbor--a sight so magnificent as to have earned the enormous bronze a place among the Seven Wonders of the World. |

CL10 Athena cufflinks The helmeted Athena graces these cufflinks, this being the image of the favorite goddess of the Greek colonists of southern Italy in the city of Thurium, from about 340 B.C. Her profile with its straight roman nose, the tight fiting helmet sporting a magnificent crest--this is what an ancient coin ought to look like --a true classic.

The image on this ring was taken from a splendid Roman signet stone carved in the highest style in about 120A.D.The Emperor Hadrian was captivated by the beauty of Antinous, a greek youth whom he took as his lover. When they were in Egypt, a seer foretold the boy's causing the Emperor's death to him. To avert the prophecy the lad threw himself into the Nile and was devoured by crocodiles. Grief stricken, Hadrian declared him a god, building temples to his worship all over the empire. He also commemorated his lost love on coins, the one and only time in Roman history in which a non-Imperial Family member was so honored. |
