Back from a London journey, more stories about pearls

After shells , now are the pearls.
What about this earring? Isn't an interesting model?
How old and where from in your opinion?

**Caitlin** · 10-29-2009, 07:13 PM

The carved face is exquisite. I would keep pearls in it.

The carved shells are beautiful. And the earring very charming and pure. I don't have time right now to research, but it certainly is fun to follow along!

More earrings for the week end ?
Very trendy 1800 years ago, and still in fashion today

What's new under the sun ?

**pattye** · 10-31-2009, 07:43 PM

Oh no! Please don't stop the quiz, that makes it even more fun!

**CLICLASP** · 10-31-2009, 08:02 PM

OK, OK, how many PG members in the fan club "story of the pearl" ?

So where these 1800 years old earrings are from ?
If you got your "degree" in pearl history of summer 2008 (see link under my signature" for a revision) you should know....

Well, 1800 years ago, makes them Roman......(Greek influence?)

The game is wonderful... don't stop.
I did know the melo melo... the earrings above look almost Egyptian to me, but the timing is out...

**Bernadette** · 11-01-2009, 01:37 AM

Havent played this game before - my thought would be that they are Mesopotamian.

I don't feel like giving explanations tonight

I rather feel like showing another one first ...

**GemGeek** · 11-01-2009, 09:39 PM

A beautiful work. I wish we could see it when all the stones were still in it. I love the wreath effect of the leaves curving out the top. Is that a moonstone at the bottom?

**pattye** · 11-01-2009, 10:12 PM

Yes, agree with GemGeek, also admiring the delicate work on the tiny hinges--------

**Hanaleimom** · 11-01-2009, 10:39 PM

Oh, that is a pretty one.
