Karo Batak Old Threaded Ruby Earrings
Oracle Body JewelryKaro Batak Old Threaded Ruby Earrings
Location- Sumatra (Indonesia)
Estimated Age- early 20th Century
Very unique and beautiful pieces. Ruby stones in the center (1 has a chip on the side). These are very well made and are actually internally threaded. You can unscrew the pieces and the hanging sections are removable. The actual post size is about 3mm (8g) thick. On the inside of the front flare there is an ID # as these came from over a 100 year old collection in Belgium where this item had been cataloged. You could most likely remove the number but we never alter antiques.
