PEACOCK BIRDS OF PARADISE Ancients believed the peacock was incapable of rot and decay; therefore it became a symbol of immortality and eternal life or Paradise (it was even believed that a pair of peacocks guarded the Gates of Paradise). Renewal and resurrection also became associated with peacocks as male peacocks shed and regrow their plumage each spring.

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.
