- Product Videos
What visions come to mind when you think of the city of Constantinople? What spicy scents rise out of your memory? Color and music and golden beauty ... it was a time of the opulent influence of the Ottoman Empire.
The arts of jewelry-making ... goldsmithing ... stone carving ... all were practiced, taught, and revered. The results were pieces like these earrings ... exquisite ... desirable ... elegant.
At first glance, you might see them simply as beaded drops. At second glance, you see those beads are rich, purple amethysts. When you approach the piece you are stunned. Why?
Because all of that ancient artistry, all of that skill is reflected in this piece. The chains from which those amethysts suspend? They are lush byzantine beauties.
This earring pair has it all ... history, drama, the rich purple amethysts symbolic of royalty ... centuries of perfecting a craft ... you could almost call it a brief history of the jewelry world.- Product Type
