A vintage Afghan Pashtun ring with an attention-grabbing fuchsia pink jewel in the center. In contrast to the surrounding barren mountainous landscapes, the Kuchi made their jewelry alive and vivacious with color. The cheerful magenta stone is surrounded by exquisitely cut-out floral motifs. The perfect foil for your summer whites, this is a beautiful ethnic ring with wonderful traces of wear.

Please note: (1) All the jewelry in this collection is vintage, and thus neither new nor in mint condition. Wear, dents, scratches, oxidation, etc. are in keeping with the age of the jewelry.
(2) All the jewelry has been gently cleaned to remove surface dirt and oils but not the patina- which in our view adds immensely to the appeal of vintage pieces. While in great condition (none of the jewelry is broken/chipped/in need of repair), all were previously owned by someone else, and while not perfect each is full of old history and charm. Please use accompanying photographs to make your decision and be sure to ask any questions you may have before purchase.
(3) It is also worth reminding that since the jewelry is shot in close-up mode, the pieces may look bigger than the actual size. Conversely, some large pieces may look smaller in pictures. Always refer to the mentioned dimensions.
