  Thanks all for the nice comments. These ear ornaments are getting harder to find in Central Asia.
  They are used and vintage/old. The first pair left is classic Tajik and 6 cm. long. The first pair right has an ear spoon and tooth pick.

  Thanks Marie Ange and Rami. This collection of earrings worn by different women, they don't personally knew each other. And would they also been proud, that they possessed this pair of earrings? We will never know. M.A. i don't think I am going to wear them.

  What a lovely row of beautiful earrings! Thanks for the additional information. Interesting to know that one pair consists of earspoon and toothpick, I have so far only seen earspoon-jewellery in Ethiopian pieces.  So it is interesting to know that this exists also in other areas.

  The left earrings are worn by the Tajik in North Afganistan and the rest more in the surrounding countries. For this reason it is better to identity this with ; TRIBAL EAR ORNAMENTS FROM
  CENTRAL ASIA. Thank Tribal Heritage.
