Tribal jewelry from Afghanistan has captivated for centuries with its combination of simple forms and deeply rooted symbolism. A prime example are the crescent-shaped earrings, crafted from silver and adorned with colored glass in shades of red and turquoise. Such jewelry was worn by women as a form of protection and an expression of cultural identity.
The composition is based on a strongly contoured hoop topped with an openwork edge that emits a delicate sound with every movement. A red glass drop is placed in the center, flanked by two turquoise drops – this arrangement evokes the harmony between life energy and spiritual peace, in keeping with the ancient meaning of the colors.
The raw texture and traces of patina emphasize the authenticity of the earrings – preserved in almost pristine condition, they bear signs of wear and age. The decorations are handmade, as evidenced by the irregularities characteristic of local craftsmanship.
Perfect for ethnic jewelry lovers seeking authentic, unique pieces with soul. These earrings make a great collector's item or a striking addition to a boho or tribal style.
