Antique Hoop Earrings by Absolutely Frivolous, Antique and Vintage Jewelry Designers

Walk like an Egyptian with these extremely elegant, truly unique and completely limited ‘one of a kind' pair of round matte gold vintage Egyptian Revival earrings embellished with hoops, pharaohs and scarabs!

These gold hoop earrings would also make *you* the perfect embellishment for any sort of special occasion such as a birthday party, gala event, photo shoot, cocktail party, formal event or on the red carpet! They would also be suitable to wear as part of a Cleopatra costume for a Halloween, fancy dress or Ancient World party, or as part of a flapper costume for a 1920s party, Art Deco party or Gatsby wedding!

They contain very old and extremely collectible array of vintage lucite, porcelain, polymer clay and original antique Czech and genuine Swarovski glass elements - to the point where most designer's would only use one or two of these in any given piece because of their cost, quality and rarity.

This pair of Egyptian earrings were inspired the Neiger Brothers and the techniques and designs emanating from the Czech Republic in the 1930s. They were also influenced by a major period of Western obsession with Egyptian antiquities - often referred to in the scholarly tradition as 'Egyptomania' - when in 1922 the discovery of King Tutankhamun's tomb saw Egyptian influences pervade modern culture. These motifs became an integral part of the semiotic language of Art Deco; a style which originated in France in the 1910s and dominated the decorative arts in Western Europe in the 1920s and the United States until the mid 1930s.

Each earring is a mirror image of the other, and starting at the edge of each is a very high quality 18k gold plated lever back setting from Israel with a gold tone prong setting. Placed inside is an original vintage Czech aurora borealis with sunray design intaglio, and dangling from this is a matte gold tone hoop earring with doubled up links for strength and durability.

Starting on the side are original antique Czech glass red leaves (as used by the Neiger Brothers), followed by a gold tone scarab stamping, a personally hand cast pharaoh's head, on top of which is a vintage 1950s's blue fan shaped lucite embellishment with another personally hand cast turquoise lucite scarab with gold detail. These hand cast elements have also been hand painted, shaded and varnished with a special lacquer for longevity. The detail in the painting by Amanda is extremely meticulous. To get that incredible level of detail on each face is testament to the fact that it was done with a true artist's hand.

Tracing the other edge is another gold tone winged scarab hand painted by Amanda, on top of which is a red pharaoh's head round cabochon, original antique Czech glass red leaves (as used by the Neiger Brothers), personally hand cast and painted gold pharaoh's head, red pressed glass Czech flower with gold detail, personally hand cast and painted double winged bird lucite, gold tone stamping of a palm tree.

Intermingled all these elements are Czech aurora borealis coated crystals which shine turquoise and blue in the light and are simply spell-bouuding, and genuine Swarovski siam red aurora borealis faceted crystals. Placed on the back is a pyramid, pharaoh's head and crocodile stamping, more ab coated Czech and Swarovski crystals. All of these components have been linked together to achieve a very aesthetically pleasing dangly effect as you walk!

The hoop, palm tree, scarab, pyramid, pharaoh's head and crocodile stamping on each earring have also been finished with a super pristine matte gold patina to emulate the look of ‘Russian gold'. Interestingly, manufacturers in the 1930s used tin solder; a material which contains nickel that some people are allergic to. Inspired by the creations of 1930s jewellery designer Miriam Haskell, they have been protected with a special varnish. Originally with about 90 years worth of natural patina, we have undergone to great lengths to ensure the very aesthetically pleasing antique looking finish. This makes them more hypoallergenic, which means they won't stain your skin or clothes!
