Sterling silver hoop earrings with a pendant in bronze, gilded with fine gold Designed in Paris, handcrafted by Tuareg artisans in Niger, then gilded by a Parisian craftsman. The earrings are delivered in a pretty natural kraft box. The story of the Ayur earrings: In the Sahara, patterns and jewelry often carry magical powers. For the Tuareg and the Wodaabe Fulani, each small object worn on the body holds meaning, a story, a force that protects and gives the courage to face the desert. On these delicate silver hoops, small luminous figures gilded with fine gold shimmer. They evoke suns, benevolent stars shining brightly at night, and the face of the moon when it is full.
