Link to the original Trient...
This trident was the emblem of the Rurikid dynasty and can be seen in a very similar form on the national coat of arms of today's Ukraine.
The trident earrings are made of high-quality bronze and are also available in genuine silver-plated.
The dimensions are 3 x 1,7 cm (incl. hook 4,8 cm).
The trident, the so-called tryzup, is nowadays the small national emblem of Ukraine. However, its historical roots go back a long way, as the first historical evidence dates back to the time of the Rus, who used the trident as a symbol on coins and rulers' signs on the territory of today's Ukraine from around 1000 AD onwards.
There are many legends about the Ukrainian trident, but it is certain that it is of Tartar origin and was finally used as a symbol of power on the tamgas of the Rurikid dynasty in the early Middle Ages.
