' To Rome with Love '

After some days of summer brake I come back with post about my inspirations for jewellery. Roman holidays were perfect opportunity for gathering some ideas and photos for this subject.

While researching ancient Roman culture I've found some pictures of architecture relating to the colouring and materials I use in my design.

The Romans borrowed styles from other cultures and developed their own styles on the basis of these styles. They used a variety of materials for their jewellery from their extensive resources across the continent. They used mainly gold with more coloured stones such as topaz, emeralds, rubies, sapphires and pearls in their jewellery than previous cultures.

What would be jewellery without outfit? Those ethereal dresses are inspired by ancient tunics. Light draped fabric provides a background for jewellery.
