Antique Afghan Beaded Earrings

These antique earrings originate from Afghanistan and represent a style characteristic of nomadic tribes such as the Kuchi and Pashtuns. Handcrafted using hammered, embossed elements and decorative red beads, they contrast dramatically with the matte metal, which resembles aged silver.

The hanging pendants, shaped like leaves or symbolic pennants, move with every head movement, emitting a delicate, ethnic sound. They are not just a decorative element but also a cultural symbol, worn with pride by Afghan women during ceremonies and daily rituals.

The earrings are not hallmarked. The seller claims they are made of a bright metal with a high silver content, but the exact composition has not been laboratory tested. The approximate alloy resembles the traditional Afghan silver used in the region – often based on low-grade silver or alpaca.

This piece is a unique piece of old craftsmanship that would be a great addition to a collection or a stylish addition to any outfit. As a vintage item, it may show signs of age and use.
