Mycenaean twelve-leaf rose earrings

Earrings inspired by a piece of jewelry that was discovered at Mycenae and dates back to about 1500 B.C.
It is believed that roses represented the wild flowers themselves; to this day, they are used in a purely symbolic manner. Roses can be found in many Ancient Greek murals, sculptures, and intricate pieces of jewelry. They are symbols of beauty, purity, fertility, worship, and strength.
