Earrings*The Met Store Greek Eros Drop Earrings

Unique art jewelry inspired by The Met collection.

The small figures on these earrings portray an ancient likeness of Eros, the Greek god of love, carrying a torch with a decorated disc above his head. Our design is borrowed from a pair of gold earrings with Erotes (late 4th–3rd century B.C.), carefully crafted with well-articulated faces, fingers, and toes. The originals were made during Greece’s Hellenistic period, and now reside in the Museum’s Greek and Roman art collection.
