This is more like the ones in the books i have as described as Yomud from Chorezm. In both Gull and Schelzer they caption this style as Yomud, but i think Ersari ones are so similar so it's either way.

Hi Linda, I know a little jewelry, but jewelry and Turkmens costumes are the ones I know best because I learned everything from a Turkmen friend in Istanbul.

The ERSARI are silver and carnelian with small designs .
The Tekke are silver with gold engraving and carnelian.
The Yomud are silver decorated with applied silver gilded.
The TCHOUDOR the SALOR and the SARYK keep their secrets,they are difficult to recognize for me.
I also know the jewelry Khorezm region of Khiva.

Here are some pictures, sorry for my poor english.

But let me tell you that your taste for beautiful pieces impressed me, Najet
