Take a closer look at the embossing and granulation work on these richly detailed earrings. The patterns are distinct to Uzbekistan, a culturally interesting area where ancient caravan routes intersected as they crisscrossed  Centrual Asia. These were clearly designed with a special person in mind, being fire gilded, then set with precious coral (for strength and creativity) and real turquoise representing the sky and spirtuality. Having admired the incredible handiwork, try these on - they make an ambitious statement of personal style.

Resplendent with intricate detailing, these earrings sing with an understated elegance. Simply shaped to plunge from the ears, the spears of 20ct gold have been handworked to produce a masterful display of texture.

The technique results in a unique texture that's rarely seen in the antique jewellery world, creating an important heirloom and a truly wearable investment!
