Afghan Ring, Vintage Kuchi, Middle Eastern, Etched, Size 9 1/2, Wide, Silver

Great old ethnic piece! This is an old, vintage Nomad Afghan Turkmen Kuchi ring. This is an aged silver color. It is decorated with an etched pattern that covers the ring. The top is a long oval the covers your finger! Four cut-out in the metal add more detail. Quite a statement piece. I haven't cleaned this and you can still feel the desert dust on it. I would say that it is unisex as a woman can wear it who likes big rings! 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. Size: 9 1/2 Condition: Good vintage condition, heavy vintage patina Weight: 6.6 grams Please examine enlarged photos for details. This is 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 and are not meant or expected to look brand new. I treasure their imperfections as part of their charm and history.
