This amazing antique amber /silver earrings (tested) are the largest I have ever seen at 4 1/2 in length. The main amber teardrop shaped parts are huge beautifully finished amber cabochons bezel set in silver. The earrings have silver shepherd hooks, a smaller round amber cabochon and the addition of silver dangling chains which make a lovely tinkling sound.
They are in excellent original condition and I have lightly polished the silver which was very tarnished. I believe these earrings are of Middle Eastern origin but have not been able to find anything like them. A impressive, scarce pair of antique amber/silver earrings! Total length: 4 3/8 (11.2 cm). Length of large amber parts: 2 (5.1 cm).Width (widest part): 1 1/4 (3.2 cm).
