Precious and semiprecious stones—emeralds, sapphires, rubies, pearls, and tourmalines—are set in designs based on the extraordinary pieces that have survived from the empire founded by Constantine in A.D. 330. Our contemporary adaptations emphasize the unique combinations of intense color and refined metalworking techniques of the Byzantine culture, whose influence extended beyond the empire's borders into Egypt, Southern Europe, and Syria, and later into Slavic countries.

Based on elements from a Late Roman necklace, these earrings incorporate rubies, emeralds, and blue sapphires into 22K gold shapes representing the shields thought to have been used by the great Amazon warriors. Length 2 1/4 in. Pierced, with 22K gold ear wires.
