Byzantine bone cross 'Ionas'
Jakob was incredibly professional, responsive, and patient in answering all of my questions about the piece before I purchased it. The item was shipped very quickly and arrived safely.
As this item is a gift, I haven't opened the package yet, but even from the outside I could immediately notice the attention to every detail and the high quality of the materials used. I highly recommend this shop!
Medieval bronze cross 'Crux Quintia'

Medieval bronze ring 'Oculus'
Venditore molto preciso, paziente e molto competente nel suo settore, spedizione precisissima arrivato puntualissimo addirittura un giorno prima del previsto, anello bellissimo solido che conserva il fascino antico. Consiglio davvero questi negozo per la sua qualità.
Bronze ring 'Marcellus'
I bought this piece for my son and had this shop restore it. It looks perfect! And fits great! The restoration is thorough while still preserving the antique look. And I received my piece in about 2 weeks (from Brussels to Texas). Thankful for the frequent communication also. Highly recommend this shop!

Medieval bronze ring 'Vernax'
Un cadeau de Noël de moi pour moi-même, depuis le temps que je rêvais de m'offrir un morceau de Moyen Âge ! La bague est superbe, la taille est plus grande que ce que j'avais estimé, mais je la porte à un autre doigt que celui prévu, ce n'est pas grave. Je ne peux pas m'empêcher de la regarder, et de penser à la personne pour qui elle a été réalisée, j'ai l'impression d'être proche d'elle même si un millénaire nous sépare ! Comme j'aurais aimé savoir qui elle était, à qui elle a donné la bague, et comment ce morceau d'histoire est arrivé jusqu'à moi ! Je la porte tous les jours, la patine commence à partir par endroits, en révélant le bronze brillant en dessous, comme si elle dévoilait un trésor, c'est magique ! Et pour couronner le tout, Jakob est très agréable, il a répondu à mes questions, m'a rassurée, un bonheur !
Medieval bronze signet ring 'Laurentius'
Was really helpful, quick to respond and very friendly! And the ring was amazing!
Medieval silver signet ring 'Equitus'
The item is amazing, and nicely cleaned/restored
Medieval bronze ring 'Seraphis'
The seller was responsive and really helpful in their responses. The item was exactly as described and arrived in a lovely ring display box which was a nice touch. However the item arrived late because of custom charges which I wish was accounted for in the price but that has nothing to do with the seller. Overall a lovely person to deal with and would do business with him again.
Medieval bronze ring 'Vespera'
Jakob is amazing! He was communicative about shipping and sent the certificate of authentication. The piece is absolutely beautiful and I could tell he spent time, energy, and love refurbishing the ring. I bought this for my mom for Christmas and she is going to love it as much as me. Thank Jakob 🖤
Medieval bronze ring 'Seraphine'
I was trying to be kind and understanding at first towards your situation. I asked my housemates if anyone signed off the item and kept it for me whwn I got back, they did not have it. I went to the post office and asked if a delivery notice came while I was away, nothing ever came
I messaged you personally and told you about the situation on my end as well; and no matter how many times you think sending me constant and harrassing messages titled URGENT, nkthing can be done at this point nor will you receive any more messages about this specific item from me.
I also messaged etsy regarding the harassment and they will actively report any more messages from you as well as your shop if this continues even one more time. The item most likely got delivered to a different neighbor and there is nothing I can do to help solve that.
Roman bronze signet ring 'Livia'
Love this Fortuna ring, may it bring good fortune!
Roman bronze ring 'Sylvanus'
This is one of my favorite stores on Etsy, anywhere for that matter. This ring is spectacular, an exceptional example of the type in use during the Roman Empire and an amazing piece of history. The packaging the ring was delivered in was beautiful and appropriate to the piece and speaks to the care and attention to detail that owner invests in his work. The inventory at Aurora Antiqua is second-to-none and the customer service from the store owner is just world class. My highest recommendation!
Roman bronze gladius amulet 'Virtus'
The item came just as described, the wooden box it came in was a really nice addition too! This was a gift for my Roman history obsessed husband, he loved it. Jakob was very communicative and wonderfully helpful as well!
Roman bronze intaglio ring 'Leo Fortis'
I purchased this as a gift for my boyfriend and he was speechless I highly recommend!

Medieval bronze ring 'Scriptum'
The piece I purchased is amazing! It is one of a kind, perfect for my daughter's Doctoral Graduation. The problem I had was with the shipping. I got a notification that it had been delivered when, in fact it had not. I was wild thinking someone stole it! When I inquired as to it's whereabouts I got an email from Jakob saying it was actually held up in customs, with a link. It was sent to Jakob not me to pay £69.25 basically a random for delivery. Then my daughter was sent a letter saying since he didn't pay, she would have to pay for her own gift or they would send it back to the seller. I paid the ransom but never heard back from Jakob, the seller. I guess he doesn't care if I received it? Very strange. Make sure you ask about hidden fees!

Nicely restored. A wonderful and special piece. Fast shipping too! Now I need a ring. :)
Greek bronze ring 'Thalassa'
I have nothing but wonderful things to say. This ring is special in all ways. I bought it for myself to mark the fifth anniversary of my widowhood at age 32 (the wave motif speaks so much to my grief). Its two-thousand-year history of survival is truly humbling. It’s even more gorgeous than in its photos, arrived early from across the Atlantic, and came carefully packed from a vendor who clearly has an appreciation for history that rivals my own. I’ll cherish this beautiful artifact forever!

About these reviews
How they are collected and shown
This page is published by Aurora Antiqua. It is not a page of Etsy or Trustpilot.
The reviews come from our Etsy shop, AuroraAntiqua. Etsy only lets the buyer of an order placed on Etsy review that order, and the buyer can change the review for a limited time. We show every review of our pieces and services, positive and negative, newest first, in the language it was written in, with the month, the star rating and the item ordered. Etsy’s rating and count at the top also include eleven reviews of digital posters and modern enamel pins the shop sold between 2022 and 2025. They are not about antiques and are not shown here; all of them gave five stars, and they can be read on Etsy.
The rating at the top is Etsy’s own shop rating; we do not calculate an average. Reviews are shown word for word. Where a review names the buyer or another private person, the name is replaced with [name removed]. Places are left as written. We do not show buyer names or their photos. The pictures of the items come from our own listings.
We do not offer anything in return for a review. We rely on Etsy’s rules on who can leave a review and do not run checks of our own. The topics at the top count how many of the 55 reviews of our pieces and services mention a subject such as shipping or packaging, whether in praise or in criticism.
