About the Livia Earrings

When I started researching for the Gloria Antiqua collection, I thought: "We all know Roman emperors, those guys with swords, laurels, and a thousand dramas, but what about the empresses? Perhaps it's time to talk about those women who survived in ancient Rome."

One of the coolest women of antiquity, and mind you! I'm not talking about your aunt who eats the whole "roscón" every Christmas and tells you, "Oh, you look great! Have you had something done to your face?", but a woman with more discernment, was Livia Drusilla. The empress. The boss. The CEO of the Roman scene.

This empress had a better-furnished mind than an IKEA catalog. Everyone thought she was just there, quietly, counting columns... but in reality, she was weaving the threads of the empire without anyone knowing. Livia didn't need to get upset to make herself understood; she fixed everything with an imperial glance that said, "Calm down."

And pay attention, because she lived in an era where women couldn't even vote in the aqueduct's council, and yet she managed to govern with her style, without swords and without pretense. If she were alive today, she would be the queen of influencers, but without using filters, calmly, with her perfect hairstyle and that "I am inevitable" look.
