Handworked Turkmeni Silver Bead Earrings, relatively newly made, sometime in the last twenty years; totally traditional, this size bead is the smallest of this type of Handworked Turkmeni Silver bead; in the past, some seventy years ago and more, they were crafted quite large, up to 7cms or 8cms in length, 5cms width, for ceremonial use.

Always traditionally used as spacers in tribal Turkmeni necklaces, here recreated in Sydney as earrings, on secure-twist Silver posts, with handmade Silver earhooks, and, capping the Turkmeni beads top and bottom, plain London-made Silver beads.
