Our contemporary selection of Afghan Tribal Jewelry rings were handcrafted in variagated Turquoise by artisans living in Peshawar along the Afghan border. Typical of turquoise, these stones have a rich webbed matrix running through them, giving depth and color gradations. Each ring has been carefully designed with ornate metalwork and traditional styling. The dome Turquoise bead has a symbolic animal carving of either gazelle, horse, or ram. Legend has it that friendly gods sent their children to earth in animal form to help humans overcome adversity...these forms included the animals carved in these rings. To see the selection, please click on IMAGES and PRODUCT OPTIONS. Price is for one ring. We have similar style rings in Lapis Lazuli and Carnelian also on our website.
