    Quail Brooch Set in Bamiyan Turquoise

    $158.00

    Elegant brooches formed with the outlines of the quail in sterling silver, and in-laid with Bamiyan Turquoise. Sold as a set of matching brooches.

    Designed in the shape of the quail - an Afghan bird that is considered a symbol of good luck and fortune. Keeping quails is a tradition that stretched back thousands of years ago, and traditionally considered part of Pashtun culture. In fact, it is a favourite for the people of Kandahar, where it is known as Karak bazi.

    Materials: Sterling silver with Bamiyan Turquoise (chrysocolla)

    Dimensions: 5.1cm x 1.9cm.

    • Silver tarnishes with oxidation and exposure to moisture.

    • To polish your artisan's craft, use solution of lemon juice and salt, and polish along the surface with a small cotton towel.
