Vintage Kuchi choker with colorful glass jewels, beading and jingling bells. Authentic choker band without all the weight. Wear as is, or add your own long dangles for unique look. The story of Kuchi jewelry, like all tribal jewelry, is rich with influences from many cultures. The word Kuchi itself is derived from a Persian word meaning migration, in relation to nomads, and does not describe a particular group or people, but rather a state of being.
