Classic Tibetan Tribal Jewelry - Large Turquoise Hoop Earrings
These contemporary Turquoise and Brass Hoop Earrings were handcrafted in Nepal using a Traditional Tibetan Tribal Jewellery Design. Earrings like these were found throughout the Himalayas and worn in various way.
They could be worn as pierced earrings, or clip-earrings by pinching the ends together around the earlobe, or most often hanging by colorful threads wrapped around the ear.
Sometimes they were worn as hair jewelry, by wearing around braids or locks of hair. If worn as pierced earrings, please note that the earwire is 12 gauge, which is much larger than a standard piercing.
