Archaeologists in Israel have discovered a treasure trove of 3,000-year-old jewelry, including a ring and earrings hidden in a ceramic jug near the ancient city of Megiddo.
The jewelry, which dates to around 1100 BC, likely belonged to a Canaanite family.
The trove has been called among the most valuable ever found from the Biblical period. One piece in particular, a gold earring decorated with molded ibexes, or wild goats, is "without parallel."

I really like this blog!, I am a jewelry collector and decided to start writing one when I realised that the web was full of sites trying to sell an inventory!
