Description

Elegant Tuareg silver earrings from the Azawagh region, a vast Sahelian area spanning parts of Niger and Mali.
This style of earring is traditionally worn by women of the Iwellemmeden Kel Denneg Tuareg.

The earrings are finely engraved with geometric motifs characteristic of Tuareg silversmithing. Three leaf-shaped brass dangles suspended from each earring create movement and contrast against the silver, giving the pair a distinctive and graceful appearance.

Well crafted and lightweight, these earrings combine traditional design with a timeless aesthetic that remains striking today.
