Indian Silver Hoop Earrings

A simple pair of Indian silver hoop earrings from Rajasthan from the second half of the twentieth century.  They are made of silver and are from the second part of the twentieth century.  Each earring is made from a single silver wire decorated with red and green glass cabochons. On one end, the wire is looped to make a closure and on the other, it is hammered thinner so that the wire can go into the ear easier.

The earrings are thicker than the western standard and one is slightly bigger than the other. They are in good vintage condition and tested as good-grade silver.

The hoop's diameter is 3.5 cm - 4 cm (1 3/8 - 1 1/4") and its weight is 9 g.
