Product Details

Splendid copies of early byzantine ear pendants, from the 6.- 7th century AD.

Outcut work with christian symbols of immortality: the peacock and the cross, surronded with pearls, garnets and Iolith water sapphires.

Christians adopted the symbol of the peacock to represent immortality. This came from an ancient legend that the flesh of the peacock did not decay. It is also associated with the resurrection of Christ because it

sheds it old feathers every year in autumn and grows, newer, brighter ones each year.

Reproduction of earrings concerved in Munich, Germany, Archäologische Staatssammlung.

Silver 925 goldplated 24 carat

Pearls , garnets, Iolith .
