Tiny Kuchi Bells

Tiny Kuchi Bells are small spherical pendants handcrafted from brass. Each piece has a loop allowing it to be attached to a bracelet, necklace, earring, chain or traditional costume.

A loose ball concealed inside strikes the walls as the bell moves, producing a delicate metallic sound. The characteristic slit in the lower section enhances the tone and gives each bell its traditional form.

The bells are old and retain natural patina, abrasions, discolouration and traces of previous use. Individual pieces vary in shape, colour, loop size and sound intensity. Each bell is selected at random from the available assortment.

Their small size makes them suitable for individual use or for creating larger clusters of sound-producing ornaments. They are ideal for Afghan, tribal and boho jewellery, as well as costumes, bags, textiles and original craft projects.
