Ancient Faïence & Gold Earrings

The art of ancient Egyptian faïence bead making dates from the First Dynasty (3100BC) where creating adornment for ritual and ceremony was hugely significant to Egyptian culture. These exquisite turquoise end-beads were originally part of a multi-strand necklace, an ornament befitting a princess. Enchanting!

These gorgeous earrings have 22kt gold end-caps and fringe, hanging 4.5cm from a hammered domed post.
