A striking pair of sterling silver earrings set with large oval carnelian cabochons, each bezel-set stone framed by an elaborate double border of granulated oxidised silver beadwork. The dark finish throws the warm red carnelian into sharp relief, giving the pieces a bold, richly textural quality drawn from ethnic silversmithing traditions of the Middle East and Central Asia.
