Modeled after the ancient metalwork friezes of Anatolia, this Urartu griffin ear cuff earring offers a bold historical accent designed for anyone to wear without a piercing. The open band features a continuous procession of striding winged griffins framed by twisted rope borders, creating a distinctive unisex piece that wraps securely along the cartilage.The design showcases an intricate frieze of mythological griffins in mid-stride with raised wings and curled tails, raised in distinct relief against a recessed, textured background. Twisted rope borders frame the upper and lower edges of the cuff. The oxidized finish darkens the background to highlight every contour of the mythical beasts, while polished, vermeil, and plated options offer a uniform metallic luster across the motif.
