These genuine coral earrings interspersed with silver spacers were purchased in a caravanserai in Bukhara Uzbekistan. I remember buying a pair that was available then at the stalls and then within a span of15 minutes some overwhelming kids came running to me with more earrings. I was so glad that I bought whatever they brought me because I love the ethnicity and feel of the well worn coral beads and the silver. Each pair weighs around 26 grams.
