Turquoise Stone-set Filigree Handmade Silver Earrings 5574

DETAILS

Sümer Telkari works this pair of earrings in Midyat, a Mardin town whose silver trade goes back many generations. The work is telkâri, the filigree craft in which hair-fine silver wire is twisted, coiled and soldered into open lacework. Turquoise supplies the colour against the metal. Buyers deal with the atelier through its own storefront.
