Afghan Bracelet, Turquoise, Silver Cuff, Composite Stone, Vintage,Middle Eastern

This Middle Eastern beauty is inlaid with a large composite turquoise blue stone in the center and coordinating stones on each side. I love the soft robin's egg blue to this piece! This is a vintage Kuchi tribal bracelet from Afghanistan. This kuchi piece is made with mixed metals of silver coloring. It is nice and wide in the front but tapers to the back so that it is more comfortable to wear. A pattern of twisted wire and dots accents the the piece. Each side also features double inlaid teardrop shaped pieces as well as a circle of inlay. Lots of ornate detailed pattern on this one! Let your bohemian style fly free with this beauty! Please keep in mind that most Kuchi and Turkoman / Turkmen / Turkomen items are old and used items with a distinct aged patina. They are a nomadic Afghan people who have created amazing jewelry for centuries. Their colorful jewelry combines new, old, metal, beads, coins, stones and fabric. Many pieces are worn due to being used from every day wear, tribal celebrations, belly dance and wedding uses. They are made with a coin-base metal alloy.

Much more beautiful in real life. I am not an expert on vintage jewelry, but I do buy and sell what I love! Since these items are vintage, they may have a wonderful aged patina
