The natural patina, created in the oxidation process, gives the earrings a characteristic dark color and adds an antique character to them. Precise workmanship and attention to detail prove the craftsmanship and experience of Afghan jewelers. The thick, closed ear hook ensures comfortable and safe wearing. Tassels made of red and green glass beads add charm and character to the earrings.

To maintain the beauty and authenticity of these earrings, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is recommended. Avoid contact with water, chemicals and strong detergents.
Please note that these earrings are not marked as silver. Information about the content of 80% silver in the alloy comes from the acid test, which is a fairly accurate method of identifying silver fineness, but does not guarantee complete certainty. Slight deviations from the stated value are possible.
