- Lot Description
Near East/Western Asia, Parthia or possibly Eastern Roman, ca. 2nd to 3rd century CE. A matching pair of incredibly ornate, exotic-looking 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. Size: 0.8" W x 2" H (2 cm x 5.1 cm); 75% gold (equivalent to 18K); total weight of both: 17.7 g
