Byzantine Bead Silver Drop Earrings from The Met Museum

Our sleek drop earrings with gleaming sterling silver beads also feature sterling silver ear wires, making them easy to wear all day. We have adapted the round beaded links of a beautiful 6th-7th century necklace in The Met collection as a model for this chic pair, which were made in the USA from the finest materials available. The subtle elegance achieved by early Byzantine goldsmiths is exemplified by luxurious adornments such as the original ancient necklace, demonstrating the wealth and prosperity enjoyed by many during the early Byzantine era.
