Empress Ring

Julia Domna, Roman empress from A.D. 193-211, second wife of Emperor Septimius Severus and mother of Caracalla and Geta. Her distinct profile and elaborate hairstyling are captured here, with a chignon, ridged waves, and the small curl on the cheek.

A woman of intelligence, talent, and beauty, Julia Domna wielded considerable influence during her husband's reign and played a crucial role in administering the empire for her sons. Her adept counsel and public presence earned her the honorific title "Mother of the Invincible Camps," reflecting her integrity and importance as empress.

Julia Domna became a symbol of female virtue and imperial authority, setting a precedent for the roles women could assume in the empire. Her patronage of the arts, philosophy, and literature fostered a vibrant cultural and intellectual environment at the imperial court, contributing to her lasting legacy.

Each ancient coin and artefact used in our jewellery has been restored and professionally stabilised to ensure it can be enjoyed for lifetimes. Patina, the natural toning and oxidation on silver, bronze, and copper coins, is not dirt; it is a protective layer formed over hundreds of years, adding to the coin’s unique history. Conservation efforts aim to stabilise and preserve these valuable patinas whenever possible. Silver naturally tones over time, developing a soft to deep grey with brighter highlights on raised surfaces. This toning is highly coveted, adding a touch of age and beauty to the coin’s details that only time can provide.
