When my good friend Rehma saw my Afghani earrings (posted June 3, 2011) , she said that she had a pair that were very similar. She said she bought them on her honeymoon at Sawat Hill Station, Pakistan, which is just on the Afghani border, and has kept them for all these years.
This is a view of the pair. Gorgeous! I love the details and the handwork.
These bangle bracelets also belong to Rehma. I don't know if they have an interesting story as the earrings do, but they are so fun with the dangly bells that swing back and forth when you wear them.
They really don't make any noise to speak of, but just look at all those bells!
I Love, Love, Love these necklaces! The pendants are about the size of the palm of my hand! Look at the detail on them! This one has a metal stick attached to the lid, so that you could use it as a kohl container (although it would take a LOT of kohl to fill it up!) or you could use it for perfume oil and the stick could be the applicator. That is more likely what it is meant for.
And look at this one! It's like a little messenger bag, and the top opens up. You could use it to keep small mementos, found objects, or a handwritten poem.
What would you put inside?
