Vintage Tunisian Silver Filigree Crescent Hamsa Earrings

Traditional Tunisian filigree crescent earrings with hamsa pendants and articulated drops. High grade silver, Tunisia. Vintage, circa 1940's.

These are most likely elaborate bridal earrings, combining filigree work, crescent shapes and hamsas, as catalogued by the Centre for Jewish Art, and typical of this time period, supporting the reported age of our earrings. 

The elaborate and detailed filigree work gives these earrings a delightful lightness despite their size.

Measurements: Height 10 cm, width at widest point 4.6 cm
