This complete Berber silver hoop earrings set comes from Ouerzazate in Morocco and it's from the first half of the twentieth century.

From the bottom of the hoopsĀ are handmade filigree spherical beads from which hang filigree dangles that could be stylized hands of Fatima.

The earrings set is complete but for one dangle, and it is in its original uncleaned condition. All the components test as silverĀ
