18K Gold Obelisk Earring Egyptian Jewelry

The 18K Gold Obelisk Earring is a beautiful addition to your unique collection. An obelisk was a monument made of stone. Each obelisk was placed in a public place. In ancient Egypt, obelisks were often built in pairs. Some were not very high. But some were seventy feet (70 feet!) tall.  A few were even taller. As a result they were very heavy and very impressive.

An obelisk has four sides and tapers towards the top to a pyramid shaped point. In ancient Egypt, these huge structures were cut from one huge piece of incredibly heavy stone. The ancient Egyptians were clever. They found a way to stand these huge stones upright after they had been decorated and carved with writing telling of the wonderful life and great achievements of the person each one honored.

The pharaohs ordered these huge monuments built for them so that they would always be remembered. Hence the writings on the obelisks tell us a great deal about the ancient Egyptian civilization.

The largest collection of Ancient Egyptian obelisks now resides in Rome due to the expeditions of the Ptolemies and Romans.
