Afghan earrings with colored glass and a conical ornament

Afghan jewelry has for centuries combined aesthetics with symbolic meaning, and the presented piece exemplifies this tradition. The long vertical arrangement juxtaposes a striking colored glass decoration with a geometric cone-shaped detail, framed by a round, embossed disc.

The lower part of the earrings features irregularly cut glass in a rich red, complemented by smaller elements in blue and honey-yellow. These combinations are typical of tribal jewelry from southeastern Afghanistan – especially among women wearing jewelry with ritual significance.

The upper part of the earring attracts attention with its convex cone, which served as an amulet in ancient beliefs. It symbolized a woman's protection, vigilance, and independence. Spiral braids around the stem further strengthen the design and give the piece a raw, handcrafted character.

The unique shape and vibrant colors make this pair of earrings a piece of jewelry with a strong ethnic expression. Perfect for collectors, lovers of oriental aesthetics, or those who want to express their independence through an original accessory with a story.
