HUGE Vintage Egyptian Nefertiti Earrings in Silver
Here is a rare and awesome pair of authentic Vintage Egyptian revival earrings in silver from Egypt. These earrings are a huge and substantial vintage pair from the 1970s. Each earring features a diamond-shaped plaque with a fringe waterfall of smaller silver diamond-shaped drops. In the center of the earring is a bust of Queen Nefertiti in profile. In the late 1970s, the “Treasures of Tutankhamun” exhibition toured America, resulting in a huge wave of retro Egyptian revival jewelry and fashion, these souvenir-style earrings were made around that time. These earrings are from Egypt and have Egyptian silver hallmarks. A truly fantastic vintage pair that is ready to wear, gift, or collect.
