Turkoman style cuff bracelets pair with traditional “teeth” in the back. Handcrafted with banding and wirework. Mixed metals in both a silvery color, and banding in a golden hue. This style is from Northern Afghanistan. The Turkmen have remained very well known for their horses, the Akhal-Teke desert horse and, of course, for their unique and beautiful jewelry traditions. Add some Turkoman style to your dance wardrobe!
