Afghan Tassel Plates

The pieces resemble pieces of old Kuchi jewelry or small ornaments used in Afghan handicrafts. They have a simple, circular shape resembling coins, but are not perfectly repeatable. They vary in detail, handles, surface, and signs of previous use.

The brass has a muted, aged tone—warmer in places, more silvery or darker in others. Some of the pendants show signs of wear, tarnish, minor irregularities, and solder marks. These characteristics give them the authentic character of vintage pieces, not new semi-finished products from a wholesaler.

Each batch is mixed, so the set may contain pendants in varying shades and slightly different handle shapes. The photos show a sample of the product, not the exact layout of each package. With such vintage items, this variability is natural and desirable.

These pendants are perfect for creating earrings, necklaces, bracelets, tassels, textile ornaments, bag decorations, belts, and handmade projects inspired by Afghan crafts. Their small size allows them to be used individually or arranged in dense clusters to create vibrant, vibrant compositions.

The weight set is a practical choice for those who need a larger number of small brass elements without having to assemble each piece individually. The pendants have a rugged, antique look and are well-suited to projects that emphasize patina, irregularity, and the authentic character of antique Afghan jewelry.
