Located in Miami, FL
Etruscan-Roman revival ear drops pendants. Magnificent oversized drop earrings, from the Victorian Era (1837-1901) circa 1880. These beautiful pair has been crafted with etruscan-roman revival patterns in solid yellow gold of 18 karats, with high polished finish.

Weight: 40 Grams, (25.64 Dwt). Measurements: 83 mm by 27 mm (3.25 x 1.06 Inches). Swan, is the meaning of grace, beauty, love, trust, and loyalty. Swan symbolism is also linked to inner beauty and self-love. The swan is an emblem of feminine beauty and softness and has even had operas and ballets written about it. In Wagner’s 1848 opera, Lohengrin, the Swan recreates the romanticized tail of the Swan Knight, or the son of Percival, who travels on a boat pulled by Swans and rescues a Damsel in distress. Though he is the hero of the story, the Swans symbolize the journey to find purity, love and romance, even at personal sacrifice. Amphora, is a type of large jar originating from Greek and Etruscan pottery, widely used in the Roman Empire, characterized by being a tall fusiform-shaped vessel, with a narrow neck and two openwork handles on the sides of it, usually ending in a point to place it sunk in the sandy soil or on an upright. It was used by the ancient Greeks and Romans as the main means of transporting and storing grapes, olives, olive oil, cereals, fish...
