RARE Antique Late 18c Early 19c Tibet Men's Earring Turquoise Silver & Gold Gilt
Antique Late 18th Early 19th Century Men’s Tibetan Earring, Silver And Gold Gilt With Large Turquoise Pieces And Complex Beaded Patterns. While there are many reproductions of Tibetan and Nepalese antiques as well as modern primitive souvenirs that are presented as original pieces, we have confirmed this to be a rare and original late 18th to early 19th century antique man’s earring. The stones are high grade, and its age shows, but it is not damaged. There is soiling in the corners and crannies of the earring from age and we did not attempt to remove them. There are no cracks or chips in the stones, the piece is strong and sturdy, it is not fragile. The detailed bead-work still shows well despite age. We have found only one comparable piece of this age, which was described as being silver with gold gilt. We have not tested this piece and therefore cannot confirm that it is in fact low grade silver or if it is silver gilt with a gold gilt decoration. This does not however diminish its rarity and does not alter its authenticity. The main decoration is 1 1/8″ long and 5/8″ wide and 3/8 thick. The earring is approximately 1 5/8 in diameter. The hoop is 1/8 thick. Each high grade Tibetan turquoise stone is approximately 1/4 or bigger. Please study photos for further detail and condition.
