Antique Earrings are Truly a Treasurd Find!

Antique earrings are truly a treasured find.  Of the antique jewelry that is found on the market today, earrings are amongst the most rarely found.  This is because of several factors.  Antique earrings seem to have been made in fewer quantities than other items such as pins and pendants.  Materials were more rare in times of antiquity and with earrings, the materials have to be duplicated in order to make a matched pair.  Also due to the nature of earrings, many times they were lost over the years or one was lost.  Sometimes these single antique earrings are found and can be converted into beautiful pendants or even sometimes rings.  This makes finding an original pair of matched antique earrings a rare find on the market today.  Collectors know this and therefore buy them up quickly when they do become available for purchase.  Antique earrings are incredibly elegant and are always a wonderful wedding jewelry idea.  This lovely pair seen on the left is an Art Deco pair of antique diamond earrings set in white gold with yellow gold backings.  You can find these earrings exclusively at http://www.your-antique-jewelry.com/.  Antique Diamond Earrings, Vintage Art Deco, http://awantiquejewelry.ecrater.com/p/10537973/antique-diamond-earrings-vintage-art, $1,595.
