Sutton Hoo Garnet Earrings

These earrings have been designed by Martick Jewellery and are based on the Frankish, early 7th century AD, coins found in the Sutton Hoo ship burial hoard - part of the splendid collection of grave goods from the Anglo-Saxon ship-burial at Sutton Hoo in Suffolk.

A pair of vibrant drop earrings based on a gold coin from the famous Sutton Hoo hoard.

Designed by Martick, these gold-plated sterling silver earrings are inspired by one of the gold coins discovered at the 7th century Sutton Hoo burial site in Suffolk, UK, which is now housed in the British Museum. The coin drop pendants feature crosses and faceted garnet bead details.

Excavations of the Sutton Hoo burial site have been ongoing since the 1930s. Many of the treasures, including the famous Sutton Hoo Helmet, now form part of the British Museum’s Anglo-Saxon collection.

A beautiful gift inspired by an important piece of Britain’s archaeological history.
