A pair of Roman gold earrings, Roman Imperial Period, ca. 1st - 2nd century CE
This object qualifies for free USA shipping and a flat rate fee of $75 if shipping internationally.
This elegant pair of Roman earrings is crafted in high-karat gold, formed into crescent-shaped hoops terminating in solid gold spheres. The design reflects a popular type of ornament during the Imperial period, where rounded forms and rich surfaces emphasized both material value and visual impact. The suspension loops have been adapted with modern posts for wearability.
