A large, impressive pair of Tibetan or Himalayan tribal drop earrings, each teardrop panel set with natural stone cabochons in rope-twist bezels with granulation knot ornaments throughout, finished with a looped chain fringe and hollow ball drops for real movement.
A substantial, characterful pair drawing on the warm mixed stone palette so distinctive of the Himalayan tradition, likely originally pendants and easily converted back if preferred.
