The ancient Egyptians loved the color blue, which represented the power of the heavens and water—and you will, too, when you wear these lotus-shaped drop earrings in 18K gold plate with blue glass beads.
Our pretty pair is based on a detail on a faience ram with a lotus-shaped manger in The Met collection. This charming ram was made in the 2nd century during the period of Roman rule in Egypt. The faience composition may allude to Harpokrates, who was an immensely popular god of fecundity and rebirth during the Roman era.

I really wanted to love these earrings, but sadly this is not the case.
The earrings are very similar to the pictures except for the beads are darker... at first...
After I was trying to wear them, I realized my fingers were blue! The beads were giving color to my fingers.
I covered them with with top coat nail polish to protect the color, but for this price, it is very disappointing.
The two starts are for how truly beautiful they look.
The color and quality were exactly as pictured. I receive compliments every time I where them. They add that special touch and uniqueness. I love the fact that they are modeled after a piece of history.
Just got these beautiful earrings. Good for everyday wear and nights out. The color is darker than in the picture, but I like them even more now. The right size, color, and weight. Simply great.
I purchased these as a holiday gift for a relative. Was thrilled when they arrived. The size and weight are excellent. They are not too long and not too heavy so will be comfortable to wear. My only issue with the earrings is that the stone is actually a darker color than it appears on the web site and in the catalog.
