Kuchi tribal jewellery is made completely by hand, using centuries-old designs. There are no local sources of silver or gold in Afghanistan, so much of the jewellery is made from alloys, made by melting down old coins, bicycle spokes, television antennas and umbrella spokes.
This well-preserved vintage ornamental piece is unique in that it is in original condition, just as the maker made it, many decades ago. Many of these vintage pieces have been taken apart, reassembled, repaired and rearranged, but our range is authentic and immaculate. This detailed piece with red, blue and green inlay work and blue, red and yellow glass seed beads and vinatge coins dating back from the 70's. It can be used simply as an ornamental piece, chocker necklace, or made into a fabulous belt with some added length, or an incredible headpiece. Let your imagination run wild...
