Cat's Eye Stone-set Silver Mardin Mesh Women's Earrings

DETAILS

In Midyat, a town in south-eastern Turkey built around silver, the Nurtaş Gümüş workshop turns out work like this pair of women's earrings. Cat's eye is seated in the metal. The surface is a hand-plaited hasır weave, el örmesi, built strand by strand until the silver behaves almost like cloth. Sizing, weight and stock are kept current on the atelier's site rather than here.
