Antique Tibetan silver hoop earrings with turquoise, coral and malachite, Himalayan ethnic jewelry, pair
$489.09
Pair of Tibetan silver earrings, each formed from a tapering hoop with a curled terminal. The decoration is concentrated along the lower section: each earring carries a central orange coral element secured by a small metal appliqué, flanked by two cabochons. Three turquoise stones, ranging from blue-green to pale green, are combined with one dark green banded malachite, creating a slight asymmetry between the earrings. Clusters of small silver beads and twisted wire borders surround the settings. The combination of silver, turquoise, and coral is well documented in Tibetan adornment.
