Meaningful jewelry, rooted in history
A piece of jewelry can carry meaning through its image, its inscription, or the person who gives it. Common Era begins with historical objects and stories: a Roman relief of two lovers, the protective face of Medusa, an Egyptian scarab associated with renewal.
Our symbolic jewelry brings those references into pendants, rings, and earrings, each with its own history and room for a personal connection. You might choose a figure whose story you recognize, a symbol of protection, or a piece that keeps someone in mind.
Explore jewelry by love, memory, motherhood, transformation, and other meanings. Designs are available in solid gold and, for selected pieces, gold vermeil; individual product pages explain their sources, materials, and specifications.
