Turcoman Round Earrings

Afghanistan
Early 20th Century
Silver and glass

Best known for their carpets and textiles, the nomadic Turkmen people of Central Asia have also long distinguished themselves as the makers of extraordinary silver jewelry. These pieces are characterized by graceful forms, bold geometry, delicate openwork. With a limited set of materials available (silver accented by gold, carnelian, turquoise, and colored glass), and relatively simple techniques, Turkmen silversmiths used great ingenuity to achieve their dazzling effects.
