The story of Kuchi jewelry, like all tribal jewelry, is rich with influences from many cultures. These beautiful pieces with colorful glass jewels and jingling bells originally came from the nomadic Pashtoon tribes that wandered the border areas of Afghanistan and Pakistan, along ancient routes between the seasons, moving down from the mountains in the winter and back to higher elevations in the summer. The word Kuchi itself is derived from a Farsi word meaning migration, in relation to nomads, and does not describe a particular group or people, but rather a state of being.

This is a very unusual style to find these days, most of them have been sold/traded and I don’t think this style
is being made now. I usually see this type of bracelet coming out of India or Yemen. I have not seen one from
Pakistan before.
