Pair of gold earrings made of Hellenistic gold elements.

Anthea Fine Arts

Period 20th century, Hellenistic

Origin consignment, London

Medium gold, Garnet

Dimension 3.7 cm (1¹/₂ inches)

Both pendants are formed by a solid rounded hoop agremented with granulation and spherical beads. One set with a garnet. The discs on the clasp are also ancient and have been carefully re-adjusted to be part of the set. Only the clasp and the junction hoops are modern (can be easily identified by the different colour of the gold).
This beautiful pair of earrings is an example of modern adapation of antiques jewellery elements. Offering to these elements of the past a new life and chance to be worn again as jewels.
