Decoration typical of Afghan peoples such as the Kuchi and Pashtuns is distinguished by geometric forms and intense colors. This pair features a square-triangular arrangement, combining silver with subtle gold plating and glass inserts in red, green, blue, and turquoise.
The upper section of the earrings is a square with four glass beads set in decorative frames with a pronounced relief. Below this, a triangular element hangs, adorned with tiny cubic zirconias and a punched ornament. The lower edge is finished with three openwork leaf-shaped pendants with an embossed droplet motif.
The movable joints between the sections of the earrings give them lightness and flexibility, allowing them to move beautifully with every head movement. Such earrings served both a decorative and symbolic purpose – protecting against the "evil eye" and emphasizing the wearer's social status.
They are perfect as a focal point for an outfit inspired by Central Asian folklore, but also as an exotic addition to modern, understated clothing. The authenticity of the handcrafted pieces and traces of patina attest to the age of this jewelry.
