[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 590926, member: 2844"]I will have to do for now, I'm sure kyra will be along later.:) I don't like the title. And why imperial, is their any proven imperial connection, either as a genuine pair or as replicas? The bar pendant is known in Roman jewellery. So are cameos, pearls, and the use of gold of course. Roman bar pendants suspended from cameos are unknown to me, though. In Roman earrings the hooks would be attached to the upper pendant, soldered, so rigid. Wrapping the wire back around itself is a very old technique in other parts of the world, but I don't know it from Roman jewellery either. Not that I know all Roman jewellery, so I could be wrong about both the wire and the bar suspended from the cameo. Those are just elements I haven't seen, and they don't seem right to me.[/QUOTE]
