I did something I usually don't do but I had several pairs of original ethnographic earrings. No one wanted them as they were not really useable. Long chains and very ethnographic.
I tried for over 6 years to hope for collectors wanting them.. they are rare items. So these are gold, sitting in the draw, so what does one do? well I took them apart and reconfigured them , so I can at least get them sold .. I know it's terrible but if no one really wants them as they were , what is the point of them sitting in the bottom of a drawer right?
How sad, I never came along a pair of these. They look a bit like the Yemeni ones. For those Yemeni ones I was looking for a long time as I was for the pieces for the front of the head.
These were sold but there is a large earring as necklace of the same type of work available.
thanks
