Etruscan Jewelry

Before the Romans, the Etruscan civilization flourished in Italy. In the region now known as Tuscany, the Etruscans thrived between the 7^th and 4^th centuries BCE. While they remain a largely mysterious bunch to historians, we do know that they were wealthy and luxurious. In fact, they had some of the finest jewelry in the ancient world. The following modern pieces draw inspiration from their ancient amphora-shaped pendants and include the beautiful blue stone, lapis.
