Accessories: the ancient world meets modern jewelery in 1884 Collection (Photos)

A trip to Rome wouldn't be complete without a romantic stroll to the famed Trevi Fountain (currently under renovative reconstruction funded by Fendi). The ancient symbol of hope has a twist, though. When you acquire a piece of 1884 Collection jewelery, they'll make a wish for you.

The Italian jewelery company has been around since 1884, and became an instant classic. Earrings, rings, slinky necklaces, and casual woven leather bracelets are adorned with Roman coins featuring various emperors of the ancient republic. Set in silver or gold, or intertwined with precious stones, the coins are cunningly used to reference the lush loveliness of Italy.

Not only will your wish be displayed on the company's website, but once a year someone will be selected to actually fly to Rome and see the Trevi Fountain live and in person. And even if you don't want to wish, you can follow the tastemaking 1884 Collection blog on tumblr.
