Made by the Southern Nomadic Pashtun people of Afghanistan with a rope chain that is hidden under small metal & wood beads. The main stones are mostly teardrop shaped and come in a green-blue. It makes for a gorgeous statement necklace and amazing addition for any vintage jewelry collectors.

Often called Firoza in the Middle East and Central Asia it’s actually a rare kind of turquoise that’s been being mined for over 6000 years. It’s considered by many cultures to have healing properties when worn.

Shows signs of wear consistent with regular use. Small areas of tarnish but will be cleaned the day before shipping and I think most will come off.
