Tekke Turkoman, Gilt Silver Earrings
Sorry, these stylish earrings are no longer available.
These Tekke Turkoman Earrings, have silver domes with “fire gilt” stripes, supporting double chain dangles, each with a small, quite charming, hollow silver protective point, (one is missing, worn against the neck, it isn’t obvious. See the lead image.)
A larger form of these silver caps, often turns up as tassels, with the threads hanging from inside them.
But these are very wearable, with almost standard silver hooks.
Already acquiring a mellow grey patina to the silver, with a little grime and oxide to enhance them.
(See also TE 432 for a ErsariTurkoman, plain silver variation of this pair.)
