Long before jewelry was adornment, it was protection, devotion, and identity. Across ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome, people wore symbols close to the body that carried meaning: a scarab for rebirth, a goddess for strength, a word-square for protection against evil.
The Common Era necklace collection carries that tradition forward. Here you'll find goddess necklaces honoring Athena, Aphrodite, Artemis, Hecate, and Medusa; ancient amulet necklaces and talisman pendants drawn from Gnostic, Egyptian, and Roman sources; portrait medallions of historical women; zodiac pendants from a 17th-century alchemist's manuscript; and gemstone pendants set in solid gold. Unique jewelry grounded in genuine historical research, made to be worn for a lifetime.
