The deeper story

Skilled Craftsmanship

Retro jewelry was produced during a period of exceptional hand-fabrication skill that preceded the widespread adoption of casting technology. The metalwork precision visible in many period examples reflects that pre-casting standard, representing a level of bench craftsmanship that later production economics made increasingly rare.

A Storied Heritage

The hardness, cuttable uniformity, and absorptive surface that make onyx useful in fine jewelry today were the same qualities that drove demand in ancient Rome. Sourced from India and Arabia and used in ring stones, cameos, and intaglios, onyx moved through the Roman gem trade at a volume Pliny the Elder called excessive in the first century CE.

Trust & Service

Buying a jewelry gift online means trusting both the piece and the process. Ross-Simons earns that through transparent product information, honest descriptions, clear return policies, and a service reputation built over more than seventy years.
