Fairchild & Co was established in 1976 by fine jewelry designer Valerie Fairchild. Inspired by classical art and mythology, her creations are each simply unique and breathtaking pieces. While the retail gallery is no longer public, the Fairchild private studio produces custom designs for clients.
The city of Taras, known to the Romans a Tarentum, was founded by Greek colonists from Sparta in the 8th century BCE before it came under Roman control during the Pyrrhic War (280-275 BCE). It was legend that the hero Taras (also known as Phalanthos), and the son of Poseidon, was rescued by a dolphin and deposited on the Tarentum shore.
