Common Era was founded on a love of ancient history and mythology. You can find a wide range of designs inspired by ancient Greece, Egypt, Rome and beyond.

This piece is available in 14 or 18 karat white or yellow gold. The translated ancient Greek reads:

You will find to the left of the house of Hades a spring,
and by it stands a white cypress.
You should not even come near this spring!
But you will find another one, from the Lake of Memory,
cold water pouring forth. But there are guardians in front of it.
Say, “I am the child of Earth and Starry Heaven,
but my race is heavenly. This you yourselves also know!
I am parched with thirst and perishing. Quickly give me
cold water pouring forth from the Lake of Memory!”
And they will give you to drink from the divine [la]ke.
And thereafter you will reign [with the other] heroes.
This is [the “gift] of [Memory.” Whenever he is about] to die,
[let the dying hero] write this [on a tablet of gold],
[before loathsome] darkness [might take him],
having enclosed him all around.

This is priced at USD$1,500 for 14k and $2,400 in 18k.
