New - Two-Tone Egyptian Knot Earrings

ENLARGE

The design of our earrings is adapted from an original bracelet crafted during the Middle Kingdom, from the 12th Dynasty (1981–1802 B.C.), and now in the Museum's collection. Most common in the Middle Kingdom, bracelets of this type were based on the ancient belief that protective spells could be bound to the wearer through a knot. The knot motif was used in Egyptian jewelry for centuries.

Sterling silver, with polished bronze accents. Length 5/8 in. Pierced, with 14K gold posts.
