Kuchi Bright Necklace with Appliqués

The base is a wide segment of small, light blue beads, densely strung on a flexible core. The color is lighter and more pastel than in the classic, intensely turquoise models, giving the whole a fresher, somewhat subtler character. The segments are separated by brass clasps with a clearly defined form.

The coins suspended at the bottom are further enhanced with metal appliqués in triangular and geometric shapes. These elements create an additional layer of relief, making the surface non-flat – light reflects off the applied details and highlights the texture of the metal. Visible patina and local discoloration confirm age and use.

The upper part is made of wrapped fabric, worn and uneven in places. The structure is not symmetrically "cleaned" like in new products – it has retained its raw and handmade character. The entire piece forms a compact circle, beautifully accentuating the neckline.

This model stands out for its combination of light blue with more elaborate metal coin details. It is decorative, but not overdone. It maintains an authentic, nomadic aesthetic without modern simplifications or stylized additions.
