Lapis Bracelet, Kuchi Jewelry, Middle Eastern, Silver Cuff, Vintage, Boho

This is a vintage Kuchi tribal bracelet from Afghanistan. This beauty is inlaid with three oval blue lapis lazuli stones. The lapis stones have a touch of sparkling pyrite to them. This kuchi piece is made with mixed metals in silver tones. 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 edges and center of the piece. 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. Condition: Good vintage condition, vintage patina Measurements: 5 3/4" inside plus 1 3/4" opening, can be carefully adjusted Width: 1 1/2" wide Weight:35.0 grams Please examine enlarged photos for details and condition. 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.
