Product Details

These earrings are vintage Egyptian Revival pieces, often featuring brass components, Czechosolovakia glass scarabs, and pyramid imagery in the style of the 1920s through the 1950s. These Egyptian Revival drop earrings feature a tiered design with several classical motifs that were popularized during the Art Deco era of the 1920s and 30s. The earrings are crafted from brass and incorporate a combination of cast metal elements and glass beads. Sphinx & Pyramid: The top section depicts a Sphinx positioned in front of a Great Pyramid. Pharaoh Profile: The central panel features a detailed profile of a Pharaoh with a traditional headdress . Scarab Beetle: Set within a winged frame in the center is a green glass scarab beetle cabochon, a symbol of protection and rebirth in ancient Egyptian culture. Teardrop Accents: The earrings are finished with blue glass teardrop beads and smaller bead dangles that create movement. Style and Origin: These earrings are representative of "Egyptomania," a trend that surged after the discovery of King Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922 . While some pieces from this period were high-end jewelry, many were high-quality costume pieces produced by firms such as Whiting & Davis or Monet, or imported from jewelry centers like Jablonec (in modern-day Czechia).
