Historical Curiosities
In ancient Rome, crotalia earrings were worn by women of high rank. Their name comes from the sound produced by the pendants, similar to the tinkling of small bells, considered a good omen. These earrings were often decorated with pearls and precious stones and reflected the taste for luxury and refinement of the time.

The earrings arrived quickly and are a welcome addition to my wife's collection. We love the style and feel of them, and we're happy with the quality of the earrings.
Un acquisto per un regalo, inutile dire che è stato molto apprezzato. La spedizione è stata rapida.
Gli orecchini vengono consegnati in un sacchetto di velluto rosso, sono più belli che in foto con splendidi dettagli e hanno una leggerezza inaspettata.
Consigliatissimo!!!
Beautiful, well made earrings, delivered to the UK quickly and safely. They came in a lovely velour bag, with a little card saying what they are made of and some information about the jewellery of Ancient Rome. I am very pleased with my purchase and the person I gifted them to was equally pleased!
