Dating back to the 14th century CE, this piece reflects the skilled craftsmanship of the time and carries the allure of rarity, validated by a certificate of authenticity and esteemed provenance.

Elegance and historical craftsmanship converge in this striking Medieval Bulgarian silver earring. A testament to the fine artistry of the 14th century CE, the earring's design is a captivating representation of medieval adornment, featuring a question mark-like shape with a detailed openwork ball at the rod's end.

Standing at 73mm in height and weighing 5.936 grams, the earring's good condition, despite minor damage, speaks to its resilience and the enduring nature of its construction.

Silver, valued for its aesthetic appeal and workability, was often used in medieval jewelry and held great significance in Bulgarian culture. The material for this piece would have been sourced locally, as the region is known for its silver mining history. The intricacy of the filigree work required exceptional skill, making this earring not just a piece of jewelry but also a wearable piece of art.

Its rarity is amplified by its documented history, coming with a certificate of authenticity and having been a part of the private collection of A.V. from Belgium. Acquired in 1999, this earring not only represents a piece of medieval Bulgarian history but also a curated collection that spans decades.


The images depict an intricately crafted silver object, possibly a pendant or an ornament, dating from an ancient period.
