Historic Halloween Costumes

Halloween is right around the corner, and we've put together a list of our favorite historical personalities for costumes. From Cleopatra to Queen Victoria, these women have a distinct look and style.

1. Cleopatra. Queen of Egypt and one of the most famous rulers of all time. Complete your costume with an item from our Ravenna Collection, which features fierce earring and necklace sets in bold colors.

2. Marie Antoinette: The last queen of France before the French Revolution in the late 1700s. She had exquisite taste in jewelry. We love the Marseille Earrings to bring her to life.

3. Flapper Girl: Celebrate the 1920s with fringe and bling. We love the Florentine Earring in Crystal for the occasion.

4. Empress Wu Zetian: She ruled China and expanded the empire during the Tang dynasty. An incredibly powerful and controversial figure, check out the Kublai Khan Earrings for an authentic take. Pictured below.

5. Queen Victoria
The matriarch of the Victorian Era, you can't go wrong with this one. Top it off with the Tiered Opal Earring.

5. Pocahontas
The beautiful daughter of a Chief who developed a relationship with European settlers. The Belle Epoque Earring represents her style.
