Mycenaean twelve-leaf rose earrings

Earrings inspired by a piece of jewelry that was discovered at Mycenae and dates back to about 1500 B.C. It is believed that roses represented the wild flowers themselves; to this day, they are used in a purely symbolic manner. Roses can be found in many Ancient Greek murals, sculptures, and intricate pieces of jewelry. They are symbols of beauty, purity, fertility, worship, and strength. Handmade earrings with a 925 sterling silver clasp. Sent in a package with a velvet pouch
