Ancient Roman jewelry was characterized by an interest in colored gemstones and glass, contrasting with Greek predecessors, which focused primarily on the production of high-quality metalwork by practiced artisans
Many rich Roman women-owned expensive jewelry. They wore precious stones such as opals, emeralds, diamonds, topaz, and pearls set as earrings, bracelets, rings, brooches, necklaces, and diadems. Anklets were also sported – though not by respectable matrons!
Men. Typically Roman men wore less jewelry than their female counterparts. Finger rings and fibulae were the most common forms of jewelry worn by men, but they would also sometimes wear pendants. Roman men, unlike Greek men, wore multiple rings at once.
This gorgeous ring is inspired by Roman finds from II. - III Century and crafted from Sterling Silver.
100% pure silver is too soft to make durable jewelry out of. As a result, the industry standard is to combine 92.5% silver with 7.5% of other metals to create a strong alloy that can be used in jewelry. This alloy is what is referred to as Sterling Silver 925.
