This J E Caldwell piece is gorgeous and will become a necklace soon. I appreciate the "size" info on the site because everything always looks huge. It was in my hands from FedEx two days after order. A happy customer! E
These eternally elegant 2nd century A.D. Syro-Roman earrings were not only worn to beautify, but to indicate social status. With great skill these delicate hollow earrings were hand fabricated in high karat gold. The boat-shaped hoop is adorned with a tear shaped fragment of glass, bezel set and framed in delicate granulation. From below, grape-like clusters are adorned with glowing cabochon garnets and delicate granulation.
Weight: 19.6 grams
Measurements: 2 1/4" long x 5/8" wide
Notes: The 14K earwires have been added so that the earrings could be once again worn and enjoyed.
