Parthian / East Roman Gold and Garnet Earrings // 17.7 g
Product Description
Near East/Western Asia, Parthia or possibly Eastern Roman, ca. 2nd to 3rd century CE. A matching pair of incredibly ornate earrings, made from 75% gold (equivalent to 18K) and each studded with seven ovoid, wine red garnets. Each is composed of three levels: a thick loop with applied granulations which was the original clasp, held in place by gold pins and with a hinge, as well as an inlaid garnet on one side; a middle level of a thick, spherical ball covered in granulations with six inlaid garnets; and a third level that resembles a chandelier with a gold sheet claw holding five large granulations, each decorated with additional tiny granulations. Each with a modern gold plated loop.
