Collection Classics

Jewelry represents the universal human desire for ornament and personal adornment. As early as the Ice Age, depictions of people wearing various forms of jewelry have been found, incorporating stones, glass, pearls and precious and non-precious metals. The HMR collection of reproduction and adaptation jewelry highlights this decorative splendor and provides a unique link to past civilizations and cultures.

Archaeologists and museums around the world have unearthed and preserved these treasures, which herald the triumph of design and craftsmanship of gold and metal smiths from the ancient world and throughout all civilizations. These beautiful objets are symbolic of many ancient cultures such as the early Egyptian and African periods.

Designer and model maker, Barbara Rothstein, and our experienced staff of production experts, work with museum curators and merchandisers to recreate jewelry from many origins on an ongoing basis. We continue to work with the finest museums and institutions in the world to create "new" interpretations.
