Delicate Sterling Silver Turtle Earrings - Armenian Jewelry

These adorable sterling silver turtle earrings with a small black stones were handmade by Armenian jewelers in a small town in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley called Anjar.  The work of these jewelers has been long renowned across the Middle East and world. It is a reputation that stands testament to the skills and traditions of the Armenian community, which established itself in the country after being driven from what is modern-day Turkey in what some describe as an act of genocide that started in 1915. I was delighted to meet Christ and his lovely wife (see picture) in their small shop located close to a site famous for its ancient Roman ruins. They were equally delighted to see me.
