Description
Ca. 100-300 AD.
A charming pair of gold earrings, each of a hollow, drop-shaped body, that tapers to a coiled finial, evoking a sense of fluidity and movement. The body of the earring is attached to a small hoop with a hook and eye closure, ensuring that the earrings are secure and comfortable to wear. The hoop is elegantly proportioned, allowing the body of the earring to take center stage. The use of gold in Roman jewelry was widespread and represented a mark of wealth and status. Gold was a rare and valuable material, and was often reserved for the most prestigious and exclusive jewelry designs. Roman gold earrings were crafted with the utmost care and attention to detail, with designs ranging from simple and understated to elaborate and ornate.
