Product Details

Discover a stunning piece of Saharan heritage with these vintage traditional Tuareg mixed-metal earrings. Handcrafted by master Tuareg (Berber) silversmiths of North and West Africa (likely from Niger or Mali), these earrings showcase a striking, layered geometric diamond and chevron silhouette. The design beautifully contrasts an engraved silver-toned top tier against a rich, warm golden-toned base metal plate. Every fine line, hatch mark, and circle motif is hand-etched onto the metal surfaces, serving as protective symbolic patterns traditional to nomadic Saharan culture. Suspended from simple ear wire hooks with decorative metallic spacer beads, these earrings offer a wonderful blend of bohemian style and historic tribal craftsmanship. Perfect for vintage collectors, enthusiasts of ethnic artisan jewelry, or anyone looking for a unique statement piece with a rich cultural story. Culture/Origin: Tuareg / Saharan region (Niger/Mali) Era: Late 20th Century (circa 1970s - 1990s)
