Ooh! Peter, you're one lucky man. Ear plugs worn by the Sherpa women of Nepal. I believe I read somewhere that these are meant to represent the marigold. Is this pair in gilt silver or gold?

Dear Preethi; Many thanks for you if comments. They are silver with a thick gold layer on it. With kind regards. Peter
