Antique Turkmen silver earrings
Antique Turkmen silver earrings
Turkmen elongated earrings are a characteristic feature of traditional Central Asian jewelry. Their design consists of several segments connected by chains, creating a mobile composition typical of jewelry worn by women in Turkmen communities.
The central element is a triangular plate covered with gold and adorned with red glass. The triangle is a very common motif in Turkmen jewelry, appearing in many pieces worn daily and during important occasions.
The lower edge of the earrings is finished with a row of thin chains ending in elongated pendants. These elements move freely as they move, creating a characteristic cascade of small metal elements.
The combination of silver, gold-plated ornamentation, and red glass is one of the most recognizable elements of the Turkmen aesthetic. The natural patina of the metal and traces of hand-crafted work emphasize the artisanal and antique character of this jewelry.
