In Roman portraiture, jewelry was meant to accompany the face rather than dominate it. Short pearl drops appear again and again in frescoes and mummy portraits, suggesting a taste for balance and restraint and a quiet confidence in everyday elegance. Augusta brings that same presence into a pair of earrings designed to feel natural when worn.

Highlights

• Roman earrings inspired by ancient portrait jewelry
• Lightweight feel suitable for hours of wear
• Freshwater potato pearls with a natural irregular surface
• Short drop proportion typical of Roman earrings
• Nickel free components for sensitive skin
• Gentle movement that feels barely there on the ear

Roman frescoes from Pompeii and Stabiae and the portraits from Al Fayum frequently show women wearing compact earrings with small pearl drops. These pieces framed the face without excessive movement and were part of everyday adornment among women of status. Augusta follows these visual references, focusing on proportion and simplicity rather than later decorative excess.
