Rome is one of the most fascinating and historical cities I’ve visited. We spent a whole day roaming through the Forum. In ancient Rome it was a plaza and the center of day-to-day life. Today it is a sprawling ruin of architectural fragments. and excavations are currently ongoing. As we were walking, several groups of archeologists were digging up new artifacts of an era gone by. Several of my jewelry pieces are inspired by The Forum. Rome is a large gritty city but the history is so mesmerizing, I would go back in a heart beat for fresh new jewelry design inspirations.
