The Fragments Collection Began at the Louvre
The personal story behind Common Era's Fragments Collection: a snowy day at the Louvre, an eight-month-old reaching for the Three Graces, and a thread through two thousand years.
Jewelry born of antiquity
Fine jewelry inspired by ancient history, mythology, ritual, and relics.
New: Fragments of the Ancient World
Fragments is a collection about what survives. Ancient forms, partial stories, and broken remnants of the classical world, rendered in solid gold.
Where myth lingers and magic breathes. Fine jewelry of the in-between.
Discover the Collections
Common Era is organized not by season, but by subject. Like a museum, each collection is a living archive, added to over time.

About Common Era
Every piece in the collection draws on documented sources: ancient manuscripts, archaeological records, mythological texts. The solid gold pieces are cast using the lost-wax method, the same technique used by Greek and Roman goldsmiths two thousand years ago, and made by hand in our NYC studio using 100% recycled gold. All production facilities are RJC certified — the highest ethical and sustainability standard in the jewelry industry. We are independently owned, and we donate 3% of all profits to the Animal Welfare Institute.
