Strut Like a Roman Goddess with Black and Gold Earrings

It’s been over two millenniums since the Roman Gods had their heyday. And while the religious impact may not be as prevalent, we still see the influence of Roman deities in books, movies and fashion.

While we can’t very well show up to work wrapped in a toga, we can still pay homage to the goddesses of yore with a pair of regal-looking black and gold earrings.

Minerva

Legend has it this goddess was born from the head of the supreme deity, Jupiter. Minerva is the goddess of wisdom, commerce and arts and craft. She is often associated with an owl and olive trees. Channel this celestial being by heading out to a museum or gallery opening wearing owl-shaped studs or black and rose-gold earrings in the shape of a vine. Complete your goddess look with a white empire-waist dress and a short gold necklace.

Venus

Often compared to her Greek counterpart, Venus is the goddess of love, beauty and desire. It’s not hard to understand why she is one of the most popular goddesses from the Roman pantheon—who wouldn’t want the ability to make lovers swoon at the drop of a dime? For your next romantic affair, head out in an outfit worthy of the goddess of love: black and gold heart-shaped earrings, a red bandage dress and ankle-strap heels.

Diana

When it comes to being a deity and all, Diana is certainly a jack of all trades. She is the goddess of the moon, hunting, animals and childbirth. No wonder women can go to work, cook dinner and take care of the kids—all while keeping it together. We all have a bit of Diana in us. Invoke this dynamic goddess with animal-shaped studs, white linen pants and a green silk blouse.

Roman mythology continues to inspire the fashion world with its rich and varied legends. Start your own legend with a pair of black and gold earrings.
