About SERRA

The legacy of Serra as crafters of “archeological jewels” begins in 1910 with Mario Serra, who set his jewelry boutique like an artist’s studio that soon became a reference point of the high society of the time and was named the supplier of the Italian Royal family. Newspapers of the time referred to it as "the most beautiful shop in Rome, indeed in Italy, perhaps in the world”. Mario left the company to his son Marcello, who positioned it as a top brand in the “luxury market” and transmitted his art to his son Alessandro, a scholar of Roman numismatics. The result was ...Read More

Roman Temple with Imperial Marbles (Porphyry and Serpentine) and Rubies Pendant
Located in Roma, IT
This pendant, in sterling silver, was handcrafted by our goldsmiths, taking inspiration from a Roman temple ! The columns are made with an authentic Imperial marble, red porphyry, and in the central part two rubies and two fragments of green Greek porphyry (called "serpentine" by the Romans) have been set. In the center of the temple we can see the statue of Goddess Fortuna holding a Cornucopia ( horn of plenty) Fortuna (Latin: Fortūna, equivalent to the Greek goddess Tyche) is the goddess of fortune and the personification of luck in Roman religion who, largely thanks to the Late Antique author Boethius, remained popular through the Middle Ages until at least the Renaissance. Fortuna is often depicted with a gubernaculum (ship's rudder), a ball or Rota Fortunae (wheel of fortune, first mentioned by Cicero) and a cornucopia (horn of plenty). She might bring good or bad luck: she could be represented as veiled and blind, as in modern depictions of Lady Justice, except that Fortuna does not hold a balance. Fortuna came to represent life's capriciousness. She was also a goddess of fate: as Atrox Fortuna, she claimed the young lives of the princeps Augustus' grandsons Gaius and Lucius, prospective heirs to the Empire. Fortuna is found in a variety of domestic and personal contexts. During the early Empire, an amulet from the House of Menander in Pompeii links her to the Egyptian goddess Isis, as Isis-Fortuna. She is functionally related to the god Bonus Eventus, who is often represented as her counterpart: both appear on amulets ,coins and intaglio engraved gems...
