FAMILY-OWNED AND OPERATED SINCE 1991. Our faithfulness to tradition surpasses simply a dedication to the Byzantine aesthetic. Gallery Byzantium started as a solution to a glaring problem: throughout his travels of the Middle East, Asia, Istanbul, and Greece, founder Fr. Spiridon Schneider was unable to find jewelry produced in the Byzantine aesthetic. He was resolved to establish Gallery Byzantium as a way to celebrate the Eastern European and Middle Eastern heritage and pass on its aesthetic to future generations.
AS ROYAL BLOODLINES FLOWED THROUGH GENERATIONS, GALLERY BYZANTIUM HAS BEEN PASSED DOWN THE FAMILY TREE . . . In keeping with this sense of familial lineage, Gallery Byzantium has been passed down to his daughter, Seraphima, and her husband, Brian, who have utilized their artistic talents, keen eye for design, and vast knowledge of art history to carry on this tradition.

-16Gallery Byzantium’s newest design, the Birka Cross, is based on a 9th century Scandinavian design of a grave find from Birka, Sweden. The original artifact is now part of the Swedish History Museum’s collections. Despite its Scandinavian origins, the cross features ornate Byzantine influences – the result of a medieval trade route which connected Birka to the Byzantine Empire.
