Welcome to Jewels of Ancient Lands
This site is dedicated to the presentation of beautiful psychometrically hot reading artifacts. Most of the items you see here are at least 2,000 years old and are guaranteed authentic.
ALL of the items were brought into the United States many decades ago, mostly between 1955 and 1969. They are the result of many years of trading and collecting. They are offered now in the spirit of sharing, in the hopes that they will find their way to their previous owners in prior lifetimes.
All the gold items are solid gold in 22.5 karat, 18 karat and 14 karat. All the silver items are .925 sterling if modern, and very near pure, if ancient. Electrum is a naturally occurring amalgam of gold and silver; some items are made of electrum and are clearly indicated where this is so. Electrum is a highly valued material and was used extensively throughout the ancient world at a time when alloying was yet to be discovered.
All modern items are clearly indicated as modern. Where ancient beads are used with modern metals, this is also clearly indicated. Ancient rings, bracelets, amulets and other items are all as-found, meaning that they are exactly as they were when they were dug up. Only one pair of ancient earrings has been altered to make them wearable, otherwise all other ancient earrings are as-found.
All items come with a Certificate of Authenticity, provenances are given where known.
