Few things represent a city quite as well as the Aqueduct of Segovia represents ours. That's why, from our shop in the heart of Segovia, we've designed a collection of silver jewellery inspired by the Aqueduct: pieces for carrying Segovia with you, or for gifting it to someone special.
A bit of history: why the Aqueduct is so special
The Aqueduct is one of the best-preserved examples of Roman engineering in the world. It was built nearly two thousand years ago to carry water from the Frío river to the city, and its most famous section, the one crossing Plaza del Azoguejo, stands over 28 metres high.
What's most impressive is that it's made from blocks of granite placed without any mortar at all: they're held together solely by the balance of the stones. Along with the old town, it's been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985.
For people from Segovia it's much more than a monument: it's the symbol of home. And for visitors, it's the souvenir everyone wants to take with them.
Our Aqueduct jewellery
We've brought its arches to different silver pieces so you can find the one that suits you best:
- Aqueduct of Segovia Ring: the arches of the Aqueduct wrapping around your finger. It's one of our best-selling rings.
- Aqueduct Earrings: a discreet and elegant detail, perfect as a first Segovian gift.
- Aqueduct Bracelet and Aquaeductus Bracelet: two different ways to wear the monument on your wrist.
- Aqueduct Choker: a striking piece for those who want to make a statement.
- Segovia Skyline Pendant: the silhouette of the whole city, with the Aqueduct, the Cathedral and the Alcázar.
- Segovian Bracelet: our most quintessentially Segovian piece, highly requested as a special gift.
Who are these jewels for?
- People from Segovia: to carry a piece of home with you, no matter where you live.
- Someone moving away: a farewell gift full of meaning.
- Visitors: a travel souvenir that doesn't gather dust in a drawer, but gets worn every day.
- Weddings, communions and celebrations in Segovia: a gift for guests, godmothers or bridesmaids.
- Segovia lovers: because you don't need to be born here to love it.
