Gold and silver women's jewelry of the 5th-6th centuries belonged to aristocrats and was found in the largest cemetery of the city of Mangup, Bakhchisaray region of Crimea. Jewelry includes gold earrings, fibulae, and shoe buckles. They belonged to a wealthy woman from the royal family of Mangup.
Archaeologists have noted that the found jewelry is rare.
The researchers noticed that the found items were well preserved. Only the gold earrings were shattered, although one earring was completely restored.
"As for the pendants, one is made of silver; we can see traces of repair in the upper and lower parts. We also found cast silver brooches, which are covered with a gold plate, with a small ornament on the upper part, with triangular and round red stone inserts, possibly made of garnet or carnelian," the archaeologists noted.
