Mummy Earrings 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 vintage Egyptian Revival earrings!

They come with vintage West German and Czech sage green glass scarabs, vermeil castings of a lotus and a large gold tone mummy!

These vintage green earrings 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!

They contain very old and extremely collectible vintage Czech and West German glass and brass elements original to the period - to the point where most designer's would only use one or two of these in any given piece because of their cost, quality and rarity.

This pair of long dangle teal 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 from Israel with a gold tone claw setting. Placed inside is an an absolutely gorgeous original vintage Czech oval sage green glass scarab with gold highlights that really make the design *pop!*

Dangling from this are two gold tone jewellery connecters that have been forged with a very pretty starburst design, and which connect to an absolutely stunning and heavily gold plated wing sterling silver casting of a lotus design (which was personally re-cast from a very old Czech stamping). This casting is gold vermeil (a/f); 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 is a larger original vintage sage green pharaoh glass cabochon from West Germany with gold highlights, and dangling from this is an extremely beautiful original vintage large gold tone mummy stamping from the United States, with highly detailed winged scarab and other interesting geometric designs. All of these components have been linked together to achieve a very aesthetically pleasing dangly effect as you walk!

The vermeil casting and mummy stamping on each earring have also been finished with a super pristine matte gold patina.
