A Pair of Arrowhead Earrings

Greek, 6th cent. B.C.
Bronze
Modern 750 gold settings

 

Ancient bronze arrowheads are integrated into modern gold stud settings which feature an elegant elongated shield motif, the central rib of which echoes the blades of each arrowhead. Interlocking gold rings suspend the arrowheads by the shaft, allowing them to dangle freely. The rich green patina and brushed gold make a delicate, vaguely dangerous, combination – a fierce fashion statement to be sure.

 

A Galerie Rhéa design and creation, executed by a Zurich goldsmith.

Made to partner with a necklace likewise composed of ancient bronze arrowheads in modern gold setting. Please enquire with us regarding the parure.
