Nice to see! I have seen a pair like this for sale, and the seller thought it was Tuareg. I knew it was not Tuareg, but I did not know what it is. Now you have delivered the Information for this type of earrings! It is really good to look at Ethnic Jewels, one always finds something to enlargen one's knowledge!

Eva, do you mean AD? I also was very surprised bt the erroneous Tuareg attribution...........and in another section of their site they said India for exactly the same pair.Weird!

@Chantal, yes, it was AD. But they wrote it with a question mark ("Tuareg ?"), so they were not sure. Well, we know now thanks to member Halter, where they really come from.
