This necklace is a creation of the Southern Nomadic Pashtun people of Afghanistan, featuring a rope chain concealed beneath delicate metal and wood beads. The primary stones are predominantly teardrop-shaped and exhibit a captivating green-blue hue. It serves as a stunning statement piece and a remarkable addition for vintage jewelry enthusiasts. Referred to as Firoza in the Middle East and Central Asia, this turquoise variety is exceptionally rare and has been extracted for more than 6000 years. Many cultures believe that wearing it possesses healing properties. The necklace displays signs of wear consistent with regular use, including minor tarnishing. However, it will be thoroughly cleaned prior to shipping, and I anticipate that most of the tarnish will be removed.
