Byzantine revival earrings of high karat gold set with genuine garnets and pearls.
Though modern copies after the antique, these lovely earrings are virtually indistinguishable from the Byzantine prototypes on which they are based. Every element, the fluid design, the almost pure gold, the royal purple garnets and the pearls, was favored by the court jewelers of Constantinople during Byzantium’s height. These delightful jewels would have been perfectly at home in the ears of an empress. Whoever wears them today is certain to feel like royalty as well.
