Size 7(resizing available) Not cheap silver electroplate! This is a high-quality. Solid sterling silver designer ring manufactured by one of America’s leading semi-custom mount manufacturers. NOTE: Resizing is available(may incur nominal extra cost depending on size required) DESCRIPTION: The ancient Egyptians believed that the skin of their gods was composed of gold. And their bones were thought to be of silver. When silver was introduced into Egypt, it probably was more valuable than gold(silver was rarer and more valuable than gold in many Mesoamerican cultures as well) In surviving inventories of valuables, items of silver were listed above those of gold during the Old Kingdom. Jewelry made of silver was almost always thinner than gold pieces, as indicated by the bracelets of the 4th Dynasty(about 2,500 B.C. Queen Hetephere I, in marked contrast to the extravagance of her heavy gold jewelry. A silver treasure excavated by archaeologists and attributable to the reign of Amenemhat II who ruled during the 12th Dynasty(about 1900 B.C. contained fine silver items which were actually produced in Crete, by the ancient Minoans. Celebrating that heritage. Here’s a gorgeous, high quality sterling silver semi-custom sterling silver ring. The ring is robustly constructed, much more substantial and heavier than the typical ring band. Please do not confuse this with cheap silver electroplate.

It’s an heirloom quality ring designed and produced to last a lifetime…and beyond! HISTORY OF SILVER: After gold. Silver is the metal most widely used in jewelry and the most malleable.

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

DESCRIPTION: Gold was"discovered" well before 6.000 B.C. most likely in Mesopotamia, though some of the oldest gold objects made by mankind were discovered by archaeologists in present-day Bulgaria(ancient Thrace) and in the Balkans, such as at the Varna Necropolis. Artifacts and jewelry of gold over 5,000 years old have been uncovered by archaeologists in Egyptian tombs. Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs describe gold as the brilliance of the sun. The tomb of the Sumerian Queen Puabi, from the city of Ur in about the 26th century B.C. was one of the richest tombs ever uncovered by archaeologists. Queen Puabi was buried with five soldiers and thirteen"ladies in waiting" who had apparently poisoned themselves(or been poisoned) to serve their mistress in the next world. From Ancient Egypt circa 5,000 B.C. through the ancient Sumerians and Minoans(of Crete) of 2,500 B.C. and the ancient Myceneans, Phoenicians, and Celts of 1,200 B.C. gold has always been mankind’s most favored ornamental metal used in the manufacture of jewelry!

One end broken off. Heavy porosity(surface pitting caused by contact with earth while buried) Professionally conserved. DETAIL: A nearly intact. Heavy Roman bronze bracelet circa 1st century A.D. from the Province of Judaea.

It was when created a fairly sophisticated and surely costly bracelet. The bracelet was not recovered entirely intact, as you can see, but originally it would have been of a reasonable good size considering the slight build of ancient Romans(the ancient population tended to be considerably smaller than contemporary populations) Originally the two ends of the bracelet would have come close to meeting one another.
