Minoan Annular Earrings
Minoan Annular Earrings
These Minoan-style earrings borrow from a roughly 5000-year-old bronze hoop earring design housed at the Met Museum.
I've taken this 2nd millennium BC crescent moon and adapted it to a dangling hoop design. It is about 1.5" tall, including a French hook, and cast in your choice of metal.
This item is created by lost wax casting a 3D-printed mold, and it is manufactured and hand-finished in the United States.
Brass, silver: in stock, ships in 1-3 days.
Gold: made to order - please allow 2-3 weeks for production.
