[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 2193707, member: 2844"]Beautiful set, I love it. I used to have one very similar, and it came from Afghanistan. I was told it was worn over the headshawl, the middle of the chain on top of the head, the ends hanging down. I hope that was right. I am sure it would have had to be fastened to the shawl with pins. Of course you can wear it any way you like, it is yours now. Yours is nicer than mine was, I would never have sold mine if it had been like yours.:) Very nicely detailed. The stones are agate-like stones, glued in, like you see in Middle Eastern souvenir jewellery (often made in India :oops:). That one is 100% Pashtun, Afghanistan and western Pakistan. Nomadic Pashtun are called Kuchi, a better known name.[/QUOTE]
