Byzantine King Earrings

Inspired by Byzantine jewels unearthed in Italy and preserved in The British Museum, these statement earrings reinterpret the era’s iconic jeweled crosses and symmetrical goldwork.

Custom-cut colored glass, luminous shell pearls and hand-carved textures create a rich, antique-inspired glow. The dramatic drop silhouette moves beautifully with every step and elegantly frames the face—like wearing a fragment of Byzantine splendor.

To preserve the finish and longevity of your jewelry, avoid contact with water, sweat, perfumes, lotions, and household chemicals. We recommend removing your pieces before sleeping, showering, exercising, or any activity that may cause impact or friction.

After each wear, gently wipe with a soft dry cloth and store separately in a dry, protected space to prevent scratches and tarnishing. For more detailed care instructions and material-specific guidance, please visit Jewelry Care Page

Processing time is 1–3 business days before your order is shipped. Once dispatched, delivery usually takes 5–10 business days, depending on your location and local carrier conditions. You will receive a tracking email as soon as your piece is on its way.

Crafted to Stay With You

We partner with master artisans to source the finest, ethically gathered gemstones alongside recycled gold and silver. From hand engraving to enamel and refined metalwork, each piece is made in small quantities with the kind of detail you can see, feel, and keep wearing. Meticulously tested to be 100% skin-safe, exceptionally durable, and planet-friendly, for us, perfection is not a goal; it is our discipline.

From Archive to Everyday

Our design studio revives historic symbols through sketches, digital renderings, and thoughtful prototypes.

Inspired by Ancient Rome, Victorian romance, Art Deco geometry, and museum archives, each design is carefully reimagined for today. We preserve the character and symbolism of the past while refining every detail for modern life, creating pieces that feel timeless, distinctive, and effortless to wear every day.

Customer photo review of Byzantine King Earrings

Words are not enough to describe how much I love these earrings. They are so stunning, eye catching but still elegant. Especially if you have a long neck, these are the statement piece for you. I have received a lot of compliments and also worn them for 8 hours (website recommends 1h). 10/10 would buy again. For anyone struggling with weight of larger earrings, put a piece of medical tape or a strong band air on the backside of your earlobe. This will help keep your earlobe in place and distribute the weight.

FAQs

Have a question? We are here to help.

WHERE IS RETRO CHIC DESIGNED?
Every Retro Chic collection is designed in Italy, where historical references and contemporary aesthetics come together.

 

IS RETRO CHIC AN ORIGINAL JEWELRY BRAND?

Yes. Retro Chic is an independent jewelry brand with its own creative direction, design language and collection narratives. Our pieces reinterpret historical references through original contemporary forms rather than reproducing vintage jewelry.

 

WHAT MAKES RETRO CHIC UNIQUE?

Retro Chic combines the richness of historical jewelry with bold, modern silhouettes. Sculptural proportions, tactile finishes and distinctive shapes give each piece a strong identity while remaining wearable in everyday life.

 

WHAT IS THE DESIGN PHILOSOPHY OF RETRO CHIC?

We believe jewelry should feel both timeless and unexpected. Our design philosophy balances historical depth with contemporary expression, creating pieces that feel personal, expressive and collectible.

ARE ALL RETRO CHIC PIECES HANDMADE?

Each piece is crafted and finished by hand by experienced jewelry artisans.

 

WHAT MATERIALS DO YOU USE?

Material details are listed on each individual product page. Depending on the collection, our designs may feature plated metals, enamel, pearls, natural stones, crystals or laboratory-grown stones.

 

WHY CAN THERE BE SLIGHT VARIATIONS BETWEEN PIECES?

Subtle variations in colour, texture and finish may occur as a natural result of hand-finishing, enamel work and the individual characteristics of stones or pearls. These differences are part of what makes each piece distinctive.

 

 

ARE YOUR PIECES PRODUCED IN LIMITED QUANTITIES?

Selected designs, collaborations and seasonal pieces may be produced in limited or considered quantities. Availability is indicated on each product page, and some styles may not be restocked once sold out.

 

WHAT ARE RETRO CHIC’S SIGNATURE DESIGN ELEMENTS?

Retro Chic is recognised for sculptural volume, flowing curves, architectural structures, textured metal surfaces and expressive statement silhouettes. Recurring forms include spirals, rounded structures, bold links and organically inspired shapes.

HOW SHOULD I STYLE RETRO CHIC jewelry?

Retro Chic pieces are designed to become the focal point of a look. Wear one statement piece on its own for a refined effect, or combine related shapes and finishes to create a more expressive layered composition.

 

IS RETRO CHIC jewelry SUITABLE FOR EVERYDAY WEAR?

Many of our pieces are designed for both everyday styling and special occasions. As some designs feature bold proportions or delicate finishes, we recommend checking the product dimensions and care instructions before purchase.

 

HOW DO I KNOW THAT MY PIECE IS AUTHENTIC?

Authentic Retro Chic pieces are purchased through our official website or authorised retail partners and are delivered with official brand packaging and order documentation.

Yes. We offer free shipping on orders over $199 USD.

Processing time is 1–3 business days before your order is shipped. Once dispatched, delivery usually takes 5–10 business days, depending on your location and local carrier conditions. You will receive a tracking email as soon as your piece is on its way.

Yes. Returns and exchanges are accepted within 15 days of delivery. Please contact us before sending anything back so we can guide you through the return process.
