Description: These classic tribal Afghan earrings were handmade for the nomadic Kuchi tribe along the old Silk Road of Central Asia. They are vintage tribal-jewelry from my collection, not new reproductions. More measurements are listed at the end of this description, along with standard disclaimer. These unusual old earrings have ornate starbursts that are distinctively old Kuchi in design. Long dangles with charms, bells, and beads hang freely below - swaying together when the head moves. They are in excellent condition with a warm-age patina. Please note that patina reflects the light when photographed, so items will look brighter in images than they really are. Please note that at 16 gauge, the earwires are thicker than standard earwires and will not fit through regular small earlobe piercings. Earrings with thick earwires like these were often worn attached to headpieces, veils, or attached directly to the hair - rather than through the ear. Measurements:Size = 3.5 inches long x 1.25 inches wideWeight = 1 ozEarwire gauge = 16 gauge (thickness of wire that passes through earlobe).TM image library = 9-2-2024 Please note that at 12 gauge, the earwires are much thicker than standard earwires and will not fit through regular small earlobe piercings. Earrings with thick earwires were often worn attached to headpieces, veils, or attached directly to the hair - rather than through the ear. They have a warm age-patina and mild wear-patterns.
