The most cherished jewelry is that which is both beautiful and also uniquely personal to the individual wearing it.

The use of cultural symbols in jewelry can create this special combination of beauty and meaning. Jewelry with Roman numerals, in particular, can keep close a memory of the special times and people in your life.

Roman numerals are a numbering system originating in ancient Rome based on seven letters given values as numbers. Any number can be created with a combination of these seven letters. Roman numerals continue to be popular today to give extra gravity to a number or date.

Romanesque symbolism has a strong, bold feel about it. It speaks of tradition and things that last, surviving the test of time. Roman numerals are classic, timeless, steadfast, enduring.

The clean, straight lines of Roman numerals create an elegant and appealing design all on their own. They convey a sureness and confidence that, when combined with their meaning, creates a deeply personal piece of jewelry.

Roman numeral jewelry helps us embrace moments in time - birth, graduation, first date, engagement, marriage, and other special memories. It can celebrate either a beginning or a culmination. As a gift, it can be a wonderful and special way to communicate your feelings about another. Or, as a gift to yourself, it can be a reminder of a goal achieved or a day that changed your course.

Whether a Roman numeral ring, pendant, bracelet or charm, date jewelry allows the wearer to hold a personal moment close. The special date is always with you, but you choose whether to share its meaning. It can be an open and public statement or a very private memory that only you, and possibly one other, knows the meaning of.

With a simple numeral, you can create a piece of unique jewelry that carries hidden meaning discreetly through time.
