Wow, this is a huge pair of exotic tribal earrings, tassels, pendants or traditional hair ornaments. I love these! They have a thicker gauge wire that is shorter but you could always add a jump ring and your own ear wire to convert it to standard earrings or a pendant. These Middle Eastern bohemian beauties consists of mixed metals with lots of old patina. Ornate dark silver colored metal forms a bell shape. Tons of tiny dangles hang down! The ear section has a large flower shaped metal piece that is inlaid with glass jewels in purple, pink, green and red . More dangles hang from these. Lots of movement when you turn your head. These are heavy enough to be considered ear weights. These can also be used as ornamental bell tassels or pendants by adding a jump ring and pinching the heavy wire shut around it. Vintage, rustic and great old patina. I have not cleaned these and you can still feel the desert dust on them. Jumka / Jhumka / Jhumki Earrings - This style dates back to ancient times.
