This striking vintage Afghan Kuchi necklace features a dramatic, statement-scale design anchored by a large circular central medallion with intricate inlay work. The centerpiece showcases a mosaic of deep red stones framed by rings of turquoise-colored stones set into a dark ground. The medallion is surrounded by heavily worked silver-tone metal adorned with raised repoussé details, stamped accents, and applied domed elements that give the piece substantial texture and an unmistakably handcrafted feel. Flowing from the central medallion are cascading strands of traditional Kuchi coin charms, each individually attached to create movement, sound, and a beautifully weighted drape. The coins display stamped motifs and a softly aged patina consistent with vintage jewelry. Rectangular side panels echo the central design, each inlaid with matching red and turquoise-colored stones and bordered with bead-like metal detailing. The upper section transitions into layered coin chains and a simple chain with a lobster clasp closure. This necklace embodies classic Afghan Kuchi craftsmanship with its ornate metalwork, symbolic coin elements, and vibrant stone inlay, making it a powerful statement piece!
