Necklace with earrings

“The eleven gold rings in this necklace were in all likelihood originally earrings. Azeez Khayat, the antiquities dealer who sold the necklace to Raymond Pitcairn, often created necklaces for his clients by incorporating a variety of elements from different periods of Egyptian history.” (Jennifer Wegner, label text, “Sacred Adornment: Jewelry as Belief in Ancient Egypt”)
