Description:
Earings
Traditional silver-gilt earrings of Cypriot craftsmanship. They consist of two parts connected through two small intersecting rings. The upper part, which is attached onto the wire hook fastening, features three leaves in repoussé work with an inserted red stone (ruby?) at their base. The lower part consists of a hanging filigree drop from which small spherical filigree beads are suspended.
