DESCRIPTION:

The world of jewelry since ancient times has been linked to a certain status. Both men and women liked to surround themselves with luxury and make use of precious materials. However, while men introduced it into their general life, such as decorating their houses, women were the only ones who wore ornaments, with the exception of a ring in the case of men.

Roman jewelry reached a development never seen before and was not surpassed until the Renaissance. Imperial Rome was the world center of jewelry, importing large quantities of precious stones and materials.

The initial style of his works was typically Greek or Etruscan, but he soon developed his own style, ornate and ostentatious, precious stone settings, opus interassile, true mosaic of small stones on a gold or silver support. Another specialty of Roman jewelery was the carving of gems, with its coveted cuts, incisions and bas-reliefs and above all its cameos, carved on agate and onyx, stones with layers of different colors that, once polished, produced an effect of depth and depth. polychromy. His main subjects were portraits.
