The striking ornaments feature rich serrate bezeled inlays of turquoise, jet and spondylus shell. Those inlays and the tastefully executed silver work add oodles of visual charisma and a distinctly vintage look. They absolutely reflect the skill of a tribal craftsmen working by old time means to satisfy trader influenced visitor demands without any sacrifice of personal aesthetic.

The tribal lapidary work is diagnostic of the time before current fashion and a sense of sameness came to dominate the craft. Weight is good for the form at about 9.7 total grams on my portable digital scale.

Condition is quite good though not absolutely pristine perfect with an aura of time to the silver and inlay surfaces as seen in the pics. Those inlays show typical natural characteristics and fitting work as crafted once upon a time. The trader supplied silver screw back fittings are good to go - one is slightly wonky from purposeful use, a minor mention for descriptive accuracy. All other usual and expected signs of period duty (and then long storage) are here simply more evidence of a genuine history.

I'm consciously nitpicking here and a look at the pics should give a good idea of appearance and condition. Size is about 1 3/4 in. The suspended drop is about 1 in. Vertical including the integral loop and 15/32 in.

If you prefer the road less travelled and know what's what, or simply wish an immediate improvement to the ambiance of each day, these will have great meaning for you. THIS IS LISTED AS U.
