Antique Owl Conversion Earrings of 14k Gold

Owls have long associations with wisdom and academic achievement. The Greek goddess of wisdom, Athena, was often depicted with an owl, as was her Roman counterpart Minerva.

These unique 14k gold dangles were converted from antique cufflinks (circa 1890) by adding gold ear wires. The earrings feature owls with ruby eyes dangling beneath blue enamel stars.

Each earring measures 1.35 inches from the top of the ear wire to bottom by 0.6 inches wide, and they are in very good condition with light surface wear.

Materials: Ruby, Gold.
