Ancient Earring is As Beautiful in the 21st century as it was in the 1st.

Archaeologists just discovered a 2,000-year-old gold earring beneath a parking lot next to the walls of Jerusalem's old city. The earring is inlaid with pearls and emeralds and was made around the time of Christ, between the first century B.C. and the beginning of the fourth century A.D
Couldn't you see yourself wearing earrings like this? It's just timelessly beautiful!

I think that must be because so much of our gold jewelry is mass produced or made to look "perfect" by craftspeople trying to compete with the mass produced look.
This piece is glorious and a little funky and has the 'fingerprints' of a real human artist all over it. Let's see some of that over at Etsy - maybe I'd think about buying some gold. :) (as if I could afford that!)
I till up jewelry all the time in my garden, but it's just mine. (so far!)
