A pair of Greek Gold Drops, Hellenistic Period, ca 3rd - 1st century BCE

These pretty gold earrings feature ancient greek drops formed from fine twisted wire of high karat gold, cleverly worked to produce this spherical form. These ancient balls have been mounted on modern 18K gold ear wires.

Condition: Intact and in excellent condition, very light to wear and quite lovely.

Dimensions: Overall drop length: 7/8 inch (2.3 cm)

Provenance: Mr. and Mrs. Broukal, UK private collection, acquired prior to 1956, thence by descent.
