Egyptian Earrings for Women by Absolutely Frivolous, Antique and Vintage Jewelry Designers

Walk like an Egyptian with these extremely elegant, truly unique and completely limited ‘one of a kind’ pair of round matte gold vintage Egyptian Revival earrings with red pharaoh drop!

These red vintage scarab beetle earrings with winged scarab would also make *you* the perfect embellishment for any sort of special occasion such as a birthday party, gala event, photo shoot, cocktail party, formal event or on the red carpet! They would also be suitable to wear as part of a Cleopatra costume for a Halloween, fancy dress or Ancient World party, or as part of a flapper costume for a 1920s party, Art Deco party or Gatsby wedding, or every day.

They contain very old and extremely collectible vintage Swarovski and Czech glass elements original to the period.
This pair of long dangle pharaoh earrings were inspired the Neiger Brothers and the techniques and designs emanating from the Czech Republic in the 1930s. They were also influenced by a major period of Western obsession with Egyptian antiquities - often referred to in the scholarly tradition as 'Egyptomania' - when in 1922 the discovery of King Tutankhamun’s tomb saw Egyptian influences pervade modern culture. These motifs became an integral part of the semiotic language of Art Deco; a style which originated in France in the 1910s and dominated the decorative arts in Western Europe and the United States until the mid 1930s.

Starting at the top of each earring is a very high quality 24k gold plated lever back finding with gold tone setting. Placed on top is a gold tone oval filigree stamping with an absolutely gorgeous original vintage scarab cabochon from West Germany with a metallic red coating and gold highlights that really make the design *pop!*

Dangling from this is a Czech iridescent matte red seed bead with a 18k gold plated floral bead cap on either side of a siam red Czech melon bead with gold detail. Tapering down this from this is a heavily gold plated wing sterling silver pharaoh casting with fancy headdress and winged scarab (which was personally re-cast from a very old Czech stamping). This casting is gold vermeil; it has been gold plated with 18k gold with 925 sterling silver as the base metal. This means that it has a thicker layer of gold than normal gold plating.

Placed on top of the stamping is an original vintage Swarovski gold tone embellishment with claw set siam red coloured crystals. The detail on the scarab of stamping also has red highlights that really make the design *pop!* and all of these components have been linked together to achieve a very aesthetically pleasing dangly effect as you walk!
