$60 USD Offers ConsideredSALE QUEEN OF TARA Emerald Celtic Medieval Style Spiral Earrings 22KGV
Artisan Jewelry:Earrings:Emerald:Celtic Medieval Style:Sterling Vermeil
Medieval Ireland maintained its independence from England until after the Norman invasion in 1066, and was a major center of European culture during the early Middle Ages. The Celtic monks of the British Isles, who produced the immortal Book of Kells, preserved much of the priceless knowledge of the Roman Empire while the rest of Europe was in chaos. I imagine this elegant pair of earrings set being worn by one of the cultured Medieval Irish queens of Tara during this period. The earrings ...

The story was the basis of countless romances during the Medieval times.

Artisan Jewelry:Earrings:Kyanite:Aquamarine
Ancient Rome has been in the spotlight in recent years, and I am delighted: it is my favorite period of history and culture after the Medieval period. These are a modern variation on a pair of Roman earrings of the early Empire (first century A.D.), originally crafted in aquamarines, sapphires and pure gold.

$45 USD Offers ConsideredSALE DEEP PURPLE Hydrothermal Quartz Amethyst Swarovski Crystals Silver Linear Cascade Earrings
Artisan Jewelry:Earrings:Amethyst:Purple Hydrothermal Quartz:Austrian Swarovski Crystals:Cascade Style:Silver
