DATE: Roman, 2nd Century AD

These fantastic Roman sleeper earrings date from the 2nd Century AD (or thereabouts). Crafted carefully in fine gold- the most pure, soft and buttery- they are finished with that gorgeous bloomed effect and feature two round accents. The sleeper earring nowadays can be easily taken out and put back in, however with these, the gold wires need to be unravelled then secured to be worn. So they're pretty much a permanent wear, and they remain in excellent condition considering their age.
