Azerbaijan National Carpet Museum has presented three more exhibits from the museum's Jewelry Collection.

The museum provided insight into unique types of earrings such as Daraghi, Oymaghi and Piala-zeng. 

"Earrings are the most widespread form of women’s decorations. The three-piece gold daraghi, made using a filigree technique, used to be especially popular. The earrings’ upper tier is a rosette in the form of a seven-petal flower with a colored stone in the center. The second tier hangs in the form of an opened fan whose segments are adorned with rosettes. The third tier is a long rectangular frame decorated with circles, from which are descended the links of pendants. The shape of the earring created the image of a decorative comb widely used by women in everyday life. Hence the name of the earrings, daraghi, which translated means like a comb," the message said.

A simplified form of these earrings is represented by oymaghi. These earrings feature the enamel technique in the shape of a hemisphere resembling a thimble (hence the name oymagi − thimble) and are decorated with stamped pendants in the form of a tulip.

Multi-component earrings, consisting of several independent elements - chetir (umbrella) and piala-zeng - were widely popular. Wealthy ladies displayed such earrings from under their head covers, the cascade of pendants descending almost to their shoulders.
