Not cheap silver electroplate! These are high-quality solid sterling silver 10mm top wire hoop earrings. Other sizes and styles available. Please see my store. 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 we offer two gorgeous, high quality solid sterling silver top wire hoop earrings. Please do not confuse these with cheap silver electroplated earrings. These are high-quality earrings made right here in the USA, crafted to last a lifetime, made from solid sterling silver. HISTORY OF SILVER: After gold. Silver is the metal most widely used in jewelry and the most malleable. The oldest silver artifacts found by archaeologists date from ancient Sumeria about 4,000 B.C. At many points in the ancient world, it was actually more costly than gold, particularly in ancient Egypt. Silver is found in native form(i.e. in nuggets) as an alloy with gold(electrum) and in ores containing sulfur, arsenic, antimony or chlorine. Much of the silver originally found in the ancient world was actu

A particularly noteworthy collection is housed at The Hermitage in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Regal Red Garnet Emerald. ORIGIN: The Ural Mountains. Russia. 19th Century. CLASSIFICATION: Red Garnet Faceted Octagon. SIZE: Length: 9mm. Width: 6mm. Depth: 5mm. All measurements approximate. WEIGHT: Approximately 2.03 carats. NOTES: Upon request we can set your gemstones as a ring. Pendant, or as earrings(click for more information) DETAIL: Ancient Christians regarded the blood-red garnet to be symbolic of Christ’s blood sacrifice. According to ancient Hebrew mythology. A giant garnet provided interior lighting for Noah's Ark. It is also believed that garnet, described as“nopek” was one of the twelve gemstones described in the Bible in Exodus 28:17-20 as adorning Aaron’s breastplate, representing the twelve tribes of ancient Israel. Ancient cultures including the Celts, Greeks, Hebrews, Persians and Romans highly valued garnet. The ancient Persians regarded garnet as a royal stone, and only royalty was allowed to possess the gemstone. Most ancient Mediterranean populations believed that a garnet could give its wearer guidance in the night, allowing them to see when others could not. Here's a gorgeous. Richly textured, regally hued red faceted garnet gemstone from the Ural Mountains of Russia, where the production of garnet has gone on for many centuries. The gemstone was hand crafted and faceted by a 19th century Russian artisan, part of an heritage renown for the production of the elaborate gemstones and jewelry of the Czars of Medieval, Renaissance, and Victorian Russia. This particular variety of garnet is especially favored for its dark, regal, blood red tones. The gemstone is very clean, crystal clear, and exquisitely colored. It possesses great lustre, lots of flash, and at least to the eye, is essentially flawless. It is truly a gorgeously colored, brilliant, sparkling semi-precious gemstone.
