Vintage alpaca silver earrings showcasing beautiful howlite and turquoise birds. They are lovely and light to wear and very unusual :)
The pieces were originally hand crafted and traditionally made in Afghanistan and surrounding countries (Turkmen tribal craftsmanship).
Please note, these are very old pieces and consequently show signs of wear. Please take this into account when ordering - its all part of the charm and character.
The main material used is alpaca silver, an alloy of copper, nickel, and zinc. Sometimes called Nickel Silver or German Silver. It is traditionally used to create these pieces.
Your earrings will arrive in a smart recycled gift box. All postage and packaging materials are also recycled.
If purchasing as a gift, handmade recycled cards are also available in my shop - https://ecooctopus.etsy.com
