Antique Afghan Earrings with Red and Turquoise Stones

Very old tribal earrings from Afghanistan, cast with a hand-finished finish. Their small size and minimalist design make them both lightweight and distinctive – designed for everyday wear in nomadic conditions.

The open crescent-shaped hoop is adorned with triangular cabochons – the central coral-red stone symbolizes life, energy, and protection, while the two turquoise stones on the sides allude to peace, heaven, and spiritual balance. The stones are set in austere, protruding frames with distinctive beaded finials.

The openwork rim, in the form of rhythmic circles, lends a lightness and makes the earrings move with a delicate sound. This style was known among women of various Afghan tribes – worn with pride, often from childhood, and passed down through generations.

The preserved patina and signs of wear confirm their age and authenticity. The perfect choice for collectors and lovers of original, raw jewelry with symbolic and cultural meaning.
