Afghan Tribal Earrings – Large Hoops

These simple yet expressive earrings hail from Afghanistan and are handcrafted by local artisans in the spirit of ancient tribal jewelry. Built around large silver hoops, they represent the classic form of everyday jewelry worn by women of nomadic tribes.

The estimated 800 fine silver is shaped into lightweight hoops, adorned with three distinctively hammered, irregularly shaped elements and spiral wire braids. These details add a rhythmic character to the earrings, emphasizing their handcrafted origins and authenticity.

The minimalist form conceals a deeper meaning – in tribal tradition, such earrings symbolized femininity, durability, and the cyclical nature of life. Their simplicity stemmed not from poverty, but from functionality and aesthetics rooted in the everyday experiences of women living in a harsh climate.

This is an ideal choice for those who appreciate jewelry with soul and history, as well as for lovers of tribal style and minimalist forms. They blend perfectly with ethnic styling and serve as a contrasting accent in modern, minimalist ensembles.
