Afghan Kuchi Bells

Afghan Kuchi Bells are small spherical pendants handcrafted from metal. Each piece has a loop that allows it to be easily attached to a chain, earring, bracelet or another jewellery component.

A loose element concealed inside strikes the metal walls as the bell moves, producing a distinctive sound. A narrow slit and small openings in the body enhance the tone and give each pendant its traditional form.

The surface retains natural patina, darker discolouration, abrasions and traces of previous use. Individual pieces may vary slightly in shape, colour, loop size and the intensity of the sound they produce.

The bells are suitable for bracelets, necklaces, earrings, costume ornaments and tribal or boho jewellery projects. They are sold individually, with each piece selected at random from the available assortment.
