Archeologists Find 2,000-year-old Gold Earring’s

A 2,000-year-old gold earring inlaid with pearls and precious stones is displayed after its discovery at the City of David archaeological excavation below the Old City walls in East Jerusalem, on 10 November 2008.

The earring is made of a coiled gold hoop and has a large inlaid pearl in its center with two identical gold pendants each adorned with an emerald and a pearl.

According to archaeologists at the site, the well-preserved earring was discovered in the ruins of a building which dates to the Byzantine period (4th-5th Centuries AD) but was apparently produced during the course of the Roman period, some 2,000 years ago.
The City of David archaeological excavation, where a 2,000-year-old gold earring inlaid with pearls and precious stones was discovered.

It was further reported, that these earrings are another very possible find from the Palestine royal family. It does look like something we would wear, especially with what looks like not just the pearl’s but the green stones which while I can not tell what they are from the picture; but I have seen worn where emeralds, especially the older members of the family use to wear. As for the gold, the Palestine royal family is only suppose to wear gold.

Pearl’s are very common with the royal family among other precious stones for thousands of years, as well as a clear type of stone that I can not think the name of right now. Which I use to have my mothers necklace and earrings until they were stolen in 2000.

As to the time period, the Palestine royal family were there. I say this because, the only time the Palestine royal family was ever away from Palestine is when we where taken Political hostage at the beginning of the last war which lasted 108 years; with my great grandmother.

Nevertheless, Jerusalem has been the home of the Palestine royal family since the city was first built by us.-HRM Deborah
