Antique Kuchi Adjustable Ring - Vintage Afghan Ethnic - Bells & Red Ruby Glass - InVintageHeaven

Bells & Red Ruby Glass - Antique Kuchi Adjustable Ring - Vintage Afghan Ethnic - InVintageHeaven

This is an adjustable band,  old, vintage Afghan Kuchi ring.  This fantastic piece. It featured a marquise shaped red ruby glass center.  The silver metal is accented with side loops that hold four bells.  The band has a lined texture.  It is adjustable and current set at a size 7.  I would be happy to adjust the size for you before shipping.  Great soft tinkling sound when you move your hand!

Please keep in mind that most Kuchi and Turkoman / Turkmen / Turkomen items are old and used items with a distinct aged patina. They are a nomadic Afghan people who have created amazing jewelry for centuries. Their colorful jewelry combines new, old, metal, beads, coins, stones and fabric. Many pieces are worn due to being used from every day wear, tribal celebrations, belly dance and wedding uses. They are made with a coin-base metal alloy.

Size: 7 - adjustable
Condition: Vintage condition, heavy patina
Weight: 13.5  grams

Please examine enlarged photos for details. This is much more beautiful in real life!  I am not an expert on vintage jewelry, but I do buy and sell what I love! Since these items are vintage, they may have a wonderful aged patina and are not meant or expected to look brand new. I treasure their imperfections as part of their charm and history.
