Not cheap silver electroplate! These are two gorgeous. High quality solid sterling silver earrings. These are high-quality earrings made right here in the USA, crafted to last a lifetime. Measurements: Length: 20mm. Weight: 2.89 grams. DETAILS: At many points in the ancient world. Silver was actually more costly than gold, particularly in ancient Egypt. Many historians have argued that it was the possession and exploitation of the Laurium mines by the Athenians that allowed them to become the most powerful city state in Greece. At the time these mines started producing prodigious amounts of silver, the price of silver in ancient Egypt was pegged at half that of gold. Enough silver was mined and refined at Laurium(and sold to Egypt) to finance the expansion of Athens as a trading and naval power. Estimates are that Laurium produced 160 million ounces of silver, worth six billion dollars today(when silver is by comparison to gold relatively cheap and abundant) As the production of silver from the Laurium mines ultimately diminished, Greek silver production shifted to mines in Macedonia. In celebration of that heritage here is a pair of gorgeous. Solid sterling silver designer earrings. I picked these up at a trade show recently as samples for a fraction of their retail value, and am passing the savings. These are very stylish, high-quality earrings produced in the USA from solid sterling silver(not cheap electroplated base metal) I’m not permitted to reveal the name of the fashion label these are intended to carry, but they’re exclusive, high-end earrings.

Not cheap gold electroplate! These are high-quality 14kt solid gold 19mm top wire hoop earrings. Other sizes and styles available. Please see my store. DETAIL: The ancient Greeks and their forbearers produced some of the ancient world’s finest goldsmiths. By about 2400BC the Minoans of Crete were producing diadems. Hair ornaments, beads, bracelets, and complex chains. By 2000BC their designs were incorporating Near Eastern techniques of filigree and granulation and design elements from ancient Egypt. Minoan culture and its jewelry styles spread to the mainland of Greece, then dominated by the city-state of Mycenea, about 1550 B.C. Gold coinage was introduced by King Croesus of Lydia in the sixth century B.C. a revolutionary concept in international trade. Gold was plentiful in Greece during the Hellenistic Age(323-30 B.C. and Greek jewelry of this period is characterized by its great variety of forms and fine workmanship. By 325 B.C. the Greeks were mining gold from Gibraltar to Asia Minor. And trading for gold with the Phoenician/Carthaginians, Scythians, and Dacians. After the conquest Roman conquest of Greece and the Hellenic world gold artisans of Greece migrated to early Rome where they produced Greek style jewelry. The chief centers of production were Alexandria, Antioch, and Rome. In celebration of that heritage here are two gorgeous, high quality 14kt solid gold 19mm top wire hoop earrings. Please do not confuse these with cheap gold electroplate. These are high-quality, solid 14kt gold earrings made right here in the USA, crafted to last a lifetime.

Measurements: Length: 20mm. Weight: 2.36 grams. DETAILS: The sixth century B.C. saw the introduction of the first gold and silver coinage in Asia Minor by King Croesus of Lydia. By this time. Much of the silver in the Classical Mediterranean cultures came from Spain(prior to then it was from the Athenians silver mines at Larium) In Spain extensive deposits of gold and silver were mined and then acquired by the ancient Phoenicians in trade. The ancient seafaring Phoenicians then brought the gold and silver from the Western Mediterranean and traded through the ancient Mediterranean world. Eventually the Phoenician colony of Carthage became the leading power of the Eastern Mediterranean(Hannibal’s father was not only a Carthaginian General but also a precious metals merchant) and gained control over these valuable Spanish deposits. In turn the Carthaginians engaged the Romans in three wars(known as the“Punic Wars” before Spain was lost to the Romans. In celebration of that heritage here is a pair of gorgeous.

Babylon stands with Athens and Rome as a cultural ancestor of western civilization. It was founded by the people of ancient Mesopotamia. Who settled in the fertile crescent between the Tigris and the Euphrates rivers before the fourth millennium B.C. Some of the earliest experiments in agriculture and irrigation, the invention of writing, the birth of mathematics and the development of urban life all began there. Biblical associations are also numerous, from Nineveh to the Tower of Babel and the Flood. In"Babylonians" H. W. F. Saggs describes the ebb and flow in the successive fortunes of the Sumerians, Akkadians, Amorites, and Babylonians who flourished in this region. Using evidence from pottery, cuneiform tablets, cylinder seals, early architecture and metallurgy, he illuminates the myths, religion, languages, trade, politics, and warfare, as well as the legacy, of the Babylonians and their predecessors. During the twentieth century. Collaboration by archaeologists from many nations has greatly increased the range of archaeological evidence, while work by linguists has gradually unlocked the secrets of the thousands of clay tablets recovered from the area. Today the historical record for some periods of ancient Mesopotamia is substantially better than for some centuries of Europe in the Christian era. Gaps and uncertainties remain, but Babylonians conveys a rich and fascinating picture of the development of this remarkable civilization from before the beginning of the third millennium B.C.

We’re happy to send you a summary of the differing conditions and prices we may have for the same title. DESCRIPTION: Hardcover(256 pages) Princeton University Press(2002) Much of the literature on ancient Egypt centers on pharaohs or on elite conceptions of the afterlife. This scintillating book examines how ordinary ancient Egyptians lived their lives. Drawing on the remarkably rich and detailed archaeological. Iconographic, and textual evidence from some 450 years of the New Kingdom, as well as recent theoretical innovations from several fields, it reconstructs private and social life from birth to death. The result is a meaningful portrait composed of individual biographies, communities, and landscapes. Structured according to the cycles of life. The book relies on categories that the ancient Egyptians themselves used to make sense of their lives. Lynn Meskell gracefully sifts the evidence to reveal Egyptian domestic arrangements, social and family dynamics, sexuality, emotional experience, and attitudes toward the cadences of human life. She discusses how the Egyptians of the New Kingdom constituted and experienced self, kinship, life stages, reproduction, and social organization. And she examines their creation of communities and the material conditions in which they lived. Also included is neglected information on the formation of locality and the construction of gender and sexual identity and new evidence from the mortuary record. Including important new data on the burial

Not cheap gold electroplate! These are high-quality 14kt solid gold 16mm endless hoop earrings. Other sizes and styles available. Please see my store. DETAIL: The art of fashioning gold jewelry reached the Mediterranean island of Crete(home of the ancient Minoans) about 2400 B.C. Diadems. Hair ornaments, beads, bracelets, and complex chains have been found in Minoan tombs. Near Eastern techniques of filigree and granulation were introduced to Crete about 2000 B.C. and evidence also indicates that Egyptian styles influenced Minoan jewelry. Minoan culture and its jewelry styles spread to the mainland of Greece, then dominated by the city-state of Mycenea, about 1550 B.C. The graves of nobles at the ancient Citadel of Mycenae discovered by Heinrich Schliemann in 1876 likewise yielded a great variety of gold figurines, masks, cups, diadems, and jewelry, plus hundreds of decorated beads and buttons. These elegant works of art were created by skilled craftsmen more than 3,500 years ago. In celebration of that heritage here are two gorgeous, high quality 14kt solid gold 16mm endless hoop earrings. Please do not confuse these with cheap gold electroplate. These are solid gold high-quality earrings made right here in the USA, crafted to last a lifetime. HISTORY OF GOLD: From the earliest of times. Gold was often held in awe as the symbol of divinity and was therefore the material of choice for religious objects. Gold was among the first metals to be mined because it commonly occurs in pure form(not combined with other elements) because it is beautiful and imperishable, and because exquisite objects can be made from it. Since gold is found uncombined in nature, early goldsmiths would collect small nuggets of gold from stream beds etc. and then weld them together by hammering. It was oftentimes discovered alloyed with 10%20% silv

We’re happy to send you a summary of the differing conditions and prices we may have for the same title. DESCRIPTION: Softcover: 239 pages. Publisher: University of California Press; 1976) This second volume of new translations is designed along the lines of the first Volume. In keeping with the ancient view. It defines literature broadly so as to include monumental inscriptions carved on stone and literary texts written on papyrus. Where the first volume outlined the gradual creation of Egyptian literary genres in the course of many centuries, the present one shows the elaboration of the genres within a single cultural period, and in a relatively short span of time. The literary production of the New Kingdom was much larger than that of the earlier periods. Hence even a whole volume devoted to it can do no more than focus on the highlights. Moreover. In the New Kingdom both the monumental inscriptions and the papyrus texts usually ran to greater length than their Middle Kingdom counterparts. The selection made from the vast quantity of stone-carved inscriptions contains famous pieces along with some less renowned ones. Together they illustrate the principal topics that were deemed appropriate to the always functional monumental context. Similarly the works written on papyrus have been selected to show the variety of themes and forms. And to single out those compositions that we outstanding in their day and have retained a timeless inte

ANTIQUE c.1700s EGYPTIAN Silver RING ~ Niello Anubis Etching & Islamic Gemstones
Antique Late 18th Century Egyptian Ring ~ Size 9 Large Rare Handcrafted Cultural Jewelry Anubis Etching& Symbolic Gemstone Accents PROVENANCE/SOURCE: The ring listed was created between 1770 and 1800 in the Nile Delta Region of the Ottoman Empire. Today. This area is northern Egypt and is at the heart of most Egyptian commerce. The jewelers living in this region were known to be highly devout in the Islamic faith and were always looking for ways to combine that belief with their own ancestral history. This piece is absolutely one of a kind. Being handmade and taking a great deal of time to originally design and create. DESIGNATION/STYLE: The ring is formed in a traditional and widely accepted Egyptian wrap style. Fusing Islamic and ancient Egyptian details. As with most wrap style rings from this region, it was forged from what is known ... moreas Egyptian gillet, which is a mixed metal. The etching work which is evidenced upon the outside of the band is known as niello inlay. This form of etching was invented within Egypt and eventually spread throughout the middle east and Europe due to its artistic appeal. It is well known that niello etching. Such as that which is evident on this ring, was reserved only for items which contained silver. Thus, despite the fact that gillet jewelry doesn't usually include silver. The niello reveals that this ring must contain some silver content. CONDITION: The condition of this piece is commensurate with very regular wear but has maintained its overall appeal and antique value. Yet. The most important original appeal has remained as we are still able to clearly make out the design of the etchings. The stamped designs and niello inlays show a gradual fade moving towards the base of the band. This is fitting as it is likely that this ring originally belonged to a respected elder who spent a great deal of time traveling in Egypt's abrasive climate. All the stones are flush with the face of the ring. One of the green stones has two fracture lines with no chips. The flaw is only

ANTIQUE c.1700's PERSIAN SILVER & BRONZE RING w/ Green Arab Gemstone ~ Islamic
Opulent Late 18th Century Persian Ring ~ Size 7 Antique Handcrafted Artisan Islamic Jewelry Uniquely Worn Green Glass Gemstone PROVENANCE/SOURCE: The ring at auction was created during the late 1700's in Persia. Modern day Iran. The artisans in this region were devoutly Islamic and highly cultured, so it is expected that their native jewels would highlight their religious influence. Rings created in this region were ethnic and influential in establishing class in their respective society. Furthermore. Colors were often highly meaningful, and in this case, the green color is symbolic of rejuvenation. DESIGNATION/STYLE: The overall style of the ring is that of a very traditional and respected tribal design. As with much ethnic Persian jewelry. The ring is formed with silver and bronze. These metals were highly trusted and often combined ... morein order to create a more durable material. Significant stamping and etching is worked throughout both band flanks. The prominent stone is a strong green glass example with a slightly coarse texture from its longstanding usage. This particular stone must have been cherished for generations. CONDITION: The condition of this piece is very good in its entirety. The intricate setting encompassing the glass gemstone is fully intact. And a ll the original stamping to the bezel is discernible. Additionally. The band has an immense amount of detailing, including two flanks of beaded shielding leading to Islamic crest designs. The ring has a nicely cultured appearance due to the moderate patina and tarnish. It's possible that the ring was resized by repositioning one of the connections of the band to the bezel. That connection is still very strong and well done. The well-rounded gemstone is a single piece with no imperfections. The ring is in original condition. Meaning that I have not polished or restored it in any way. DETAILS/SPECIFICS: This piece is very refined and formed in a respected Persian method. The bezel and the band are quite intricate. With two Arab form flanks. Additi

Antique 1600s PERSIAN Silver ISLAMIC Ring with Rare Arab Gemstone ~ Mens Jewelry
Antique 17th Century Persian Ring ~ Size 8 Islamic Artisan Handcrafted Men's Jewelry Rare Blue Emerald-Cut Gemstone PROVENANCE/SOURCE: The ring at auction was created sometime in the 1600's in Persia. Modern day Iran. The piece was carefully designed and formed by a master craftsman within the Safavid Empire. The artisans in this region were devoutly Islamic and highly cultured, so it is expected that their native jewels would highlight their religious influence. Rings created in this region were ethnic and influential in establishing class in their respective society. Such jewels were created to be worn frequently and proudly by their owners. DESIGNATION/STYLE: The overall design embodies all aspects of a traditional and respected Persian status ring. As with much antique Islamic jewelry. The ring was formed with combination of silver ... moreand bronze metals. These metals were often combined in order to create a more durable material for the artisan to work with and were trusted in this manner since the middle ages. Significant stamping and etching is worked throughout both band flanks. The prominent stone is a brilliant and rich emerald cut blue glass. It is rare to see this type of gemstone in blue. This example is of excellent color quality and fine shape. Making it an obvious choice to complete this outstanding men's status ring. CONDITION: The condition of this piece is good overall and commensurate with its age. Though the ring surely experienced significant wear for around 400 years. The original shape and all design work have been maintained. The ornate setting encompassing the glass gemstone is fully intact. And all the original stamping to the bezel and band is discernible. There is mild tarnishing of silver content on this piece. And a nice natural patina is visible on this item. Any oxidation on the ring is isolated to one half of the bezel and has a greenish hue due to bronze content. I have included photographs from both the top and the bottom of the bezel so that you can review both sides(re
