Neat Pair Nepal? Silver & Bead Dangle Clipback Earrings
Regular price
$216.00
Presented is an interesting pair of silver dangle earrings. These earrings are relatively modern, likely made in Tibet or Nepal. The earrings consist of a silver triangle with a beaded texture, set in the center with an oval cabochon of a faintly translucent yellow material which we believe is amber. The earrings are closed in the back, which gives us no unobtrusive surface to test without risking damage to the material, so we can't say for sure what the yellow cabochons are. Hanging from the bottom of each triangle is a little loop strung with carved white beads, supporting four painted clay drops and a central, longer drop in brass, topped by a carved bead and a yellow bead. The clay drops
are colorfully painted in black, purple, green and red against white, showing what looks like llamas in a field. The earrings have clip style backs, suitable for wear with pierced or unpierced ears, though a jeweler could easily add posts for wear exclusively with pierced ears. Each earring also has a little loop at the top, which could be used as a bail for a chain, if the buyer would prefer to wear just one of these as a pendant. Either way they are striking, unique pieces.
The earrings are in great condition. The clipbacks function well and close securely. There are no breaks and no repairs.
The earrings are not stamped or hallmarked, but we have tested the silver with nitric acid and guarantee it to be at least 900 purity.
The total weight for the pair is 37.5 grams or 1.3 regular ounces.
