Turquoise & Gold Melon Bead Earrings

These sublime turquoise melon beads are incredibly old and rare, most likely originating in the mountainous regions of Afghanistan and crafted in ancient Mesopotamia. The 'melon' bead is a shape often expressed in ancient ornament and are beautifully combined here in these elegant earrings with fabulous handcrafted 22kt gold melon and tiffany-like favrille glass beads. Hanging 4.5cm in length from our signature gold lotus post.
