Old Gilded Silver Uzbek Earrings, Central Asia
Stunning old, gilded silver Uzbek earrings made circa 1960. These anchor-shaped earrings have a very old look and feel. They display gilded filigree with deep red, sky blue and navy enamelling and are adorned with a central black agate stone.
Two further motifs are adorned with turquoise beads and the jingly dangles have coral beads and gilded leaf motifs. A little of the gilding has faded on a few of the leaves, authenticating their age. This does not detract from their beauty (see photos).
The ear hooks are 0.5 mm in width.
A very attractive pair of wearable vintage earrings. So beautiful and elegant.
