How to Find Museum Earrings

Museum earrings are earrings based upon a classic design found in history. We know about historic jewelry design because of portraits and found relics. Wearing museum earrings can add a touch of class and elegance to whatever you may be wearing and can be a timeless piece of jewelry for your collection. Ready to start shopping and fill your jewelry box with classic treasures? Let's go.

Instructions

1. 

   Start at the Museum Store Company. This eclectic shop can be found in some malls or online (see Resources below). Here you can get beautiful reproductions of Catherine the Great's earrings for under $30 or many items with an Egyptian influence. The quality is always terrific so you should have no reservations before you pull out that credit card.

2. 

   Go to Museum Jewellery online for an even greater variety of museum earrings (see Resources below). They've got a wide variety of international historical reproduction jewelry including 18th century Baltic earrings and Pre-Columbian animal shaped earrings. Cool!

3. Go to a museum. The famous Metropolitan museum has a great collection of museum earrings and you can check them out by going to Met Museum (see Resources below). Whether you want some pearl earrings with a Greek flavor or some 19th century French crystal replica button earrings you'll find something for a reasonable price at the Met.

4. Find historic style earrings from many cultures at Rustic Spirit (see Resources below). Egyptian, French and German are just a few of the cultures presented and although not museum earrings, this site also has some fun typewriter key earrings that are just terrific!

5. Check out your local vintage jewelry stores if you are looking for some historic styled earrings that are reminscent of the museum quality items. They may have some great pieces you may not be able to find elsewhere.
