Inspired by the richly hued mosaics and gold-encrusted treasures of the Byzantine Empire, Verdura set gems into gold like tiles, mixing precious and semi-precious stones in various colors and cuts. Recalling the opulent aesthetic of the Eastern Roman Empire, the Byzantine Bangle employs some of Verdura’s favorite color combinations in his trademark whimsical style.
