JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli archeologists have discovered a 2,000-year-old gold earring beneath a parking lot next to the walls of Jerusalem's old city, the Israel Antiquities Authority said Monday.

The discovery dates back to the time of Christ, during the Roman period, said Doron Ben-Ami, director of excavation at the site. The piece was found in a Byzantine structure built several centuries after the jeweled earring was made, showing it was likely passed down through generations, he said.

Gorgeous!

Well, now you know what to get your wife for the next anniversary, Min.

Yeah....but last time I checked she still had two ears.

Could be a problem.

Be a little creative, Min. Tell her it's a nose ring!

Ish, these would go great with the shoes from the other thread.

Problem is, what to wear with them? Jeans? Sweats?

Nothing, Leona - as John suggested. Just the earrings and the shoes.

And maybe the Indiana Jones whip would go nicely as an accessory, as we wouldn't want to feel under-dressed.
