All of our Afghani tribal jewelry and Central Asian textiles are authentic. Our items have endured the ravages of travel, time, and especially war. Many of these pieces are not in perfect condition due to age and wear. Stones may be missing or glass chipped & threads worn on garments. We note obvious flaws in our listings.

Most tribal jewelry is costume jewelry composed of various alloys. Some alloys are better than others. Silver content ranges from 30% to 70% silver or less. Base metal alloys may contain quantities of copper, nickel, brass, silver, or other metals. Many of our items were made by displaced Afghanis. Thank you for helping them and enjoy!
