Kuchi old silver earrings

 A nice pair of Kuchi old silver, freshwater pearls,coral and turquoise earrings from Afghanistan, with evident Turkoman influences. Very attractive silver granulation work. The Kuchi people, from the Persian -koch- meaning migration, are Afghan pashtoons nomads divided in a number of tribes that inhabit areas of Afghanistan and, to a lesser extent, Pakistan. Their jewellery is quite often very colourful using silver, glass and, in some fewer cases, enamel.
