My favorite pieces walk the line between silly and sublime, like these earrings. Silver gilt sphinxes suspend faience drops, a material associated with ancient Egypt for over 4000 years. Made from ground quartz and coated in a self-glazing surface, faience was famous for its blue-green color. Victorian and Edwardian jewelers used it to evoke the lush ancient world. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e MATERIALS: gilt silver, crimson, yellow \u0026amp; blue enamel, faience beads\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAGE: c. 1900\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCONDITION: Very good\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSIZE: 2 1\/2\" length measured from the top of the ear wire, 5\/8\" at the widest point\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52259160752410,"sku":"E835","price":1200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0156\/5502\/files\/E835-1.jpg?v=1780444222","url":"https:\/\/checkout.ericaweiner.com\/products\/egyptian-revival-sphinx-faience-gilt-silver-earrings","provider":"Erica Weiner LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
