Yemenite Filigree Earrings with Coral, made in Palestine

$100

Circa 1930s, these silver filigree and coral accented earrings are highly detailed and made in Palestine as part of the Yemenite Bezalel collective.  

Such fine detail work, perfect in its condition especially as it is almost 100 years old. A true piece of history. 

Yemenite Bezalel jewelry was based in Jerusalem and the local artisans were often of Yemenite heritage. Under the Ottoman Empire, Jerusalem was bustling with a lot of people from wide and far and these artisans produced a very distinct style of jewelry. 


Tested as silver by acid.
