Description

Greek mythology and history often appear in Greek jewelry designs.
<br />Owls were also very popular in jewelry and coinage as Athena was the patron goddess of Athens and her symbol was the owl.
<br />
<br />These earrings are copies of the ancient coins.
<br />The image of an owl on one earring and the bust of Athena on the other.
<br />
<br />These are meant to be a bit different in size and not perfectly round (as were the ancient Greek coins). They hang from silver plated french hooks.
<br />
<br />Each earring measures a bit less than 1" wide (not including the ear wires).
<br />
<br />Made out of emerald colored polymer clay with bronze patina.
