Roma Jewelry Review
A closer look at Roma Jewelry's Galatea Dangle Earrings — classy 1920s-style pieces that arrived fast, but felt a touch less sturdy than their price tag suggested.
They are swishy and dangly. Totally 1920s.
Our reviewerClassy Design, Slightly Delicate Execution
Roma Jewelry sent us a piece to review, and our reviewer — who has spent time curating handmade jewelry for a subscription company of her own — came in with a critical eye. The site itself makes a strong first impression, laid out cleanly with a wide range of styles, though the front page mixes genuinely classy pieces with some that look noticeably cheaper.
We went looking for something in the 1920s style our reviewer loves for themed events, and landed on the Galatea Dangle Earrings at $139.99 — described as .925 sterling silver with a platinum vermeil, made in Italy and backed by a lifetime guarantee against tarnishing.
Shipping was genuinely fast: the earrings arrived in under three days, in a cute teal box lined with patterned tissue paper and a black presentation box inside. That first impression took a hit, though, when the earrings themselves turned out to be packed in a plain plastic bag on an earring card rather than seated in the box itself.
Once out of the packaging, the earrings matched the site photos exactly — swishy, dangly and thoroughly 1920s. But they felt lighter and flimsier than their price suggested, and the post that goes through the ear was already slightly bent out of shape after just one opening, which left our reviewer nervous about how long they'd hold up.
At $139.99, with a lifetime guarantee attached, the earrings are a stylish pick for anyone chasing a specific vintage look — just don't expect them to feel as substantial as the price tag implies.

Unboxing the Galatea Dangle Earrings
The box itself is a cute teal color with lovely patterned tissue paper inside, and a black box nestled within holding the earrings — a presentation that felt considered right up until the lid came off.
Cracking the black box revealed the earrings sealed in a plastic bag on a plain earring card, rather than seated directly against the box's backing — a missed opportunity for a more polished reveal.
A Durability Concern
After opening the earring to put it in, the delicate post was already bent slightly out of shape — likely just the material, but enough to make us wonder how many wears they'll survive.

Good to Know
A Stylish Pick That Could Feel Sturdier
We loved the presentation and the spot-on 1920s design of the Galatea Dangle Earrings, but at this price point we'd like them to feel a bit sturdier — 20% off softens that concern.
