That which is truly precious and beautiful transcends time. The rich gleam of precious jewelry delighted the Ancient Romans as much as it does our own age. On this glorious necklace, the confident image of the emperor Maximinus is set amid the radiance of gold and the rich, royal hues of ruby. Dramatic in its simplicity, it truly defines the term "classic". The person who wears it today will understand that sometimes the best way to make a statement is to say nothing at all. - (FJ.3366)
