Culture: Ancient Roman
Material: Gold
Number of objects: 2
Object: earings
Century/ Timeframe: 100-300CE
Condition: Good Condition, See Photo

Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st to 3rd century CE. A lovely pair of gold hoop earrings comprised of 87% gold, equivalent to 20K+. Each earring presents a near-spherical 7 with smooth contours. Interestingly, the Romans invented the "hoop earring" which developed around 300 BCE. Yes even in antiquity, humans expressed their love, appreciation, and admiration with a shimmering bauble or two. So why not continue to embrace this longstanding tradition? Size: .375" in diameter (1 cm); weight: 1.8 grams; precious metal quality: 87% gold, equivalent to 20K+


This pair is striking in its modernity.


Purchased by the current owner in 2018 from A. G. Dealer before that: private East Coast, USA collection

    this is the first time you raised this issue. will track down what happened and get back you very soon
  • The document was posted to Canada from Arlington, VA through the USPS at a cost of only US$1.15. Yet, the seller charged US$38.90. This is abusive and unethical. A refund would be appreciated.

    I have no idea where the auction might be shipped to. For someone paying only 1 eur I think I'd just shut up about it

    He knows I'm not responsible for customs fees and duties. Why blame me for his cheapness?
