Large beautiful Turkoman diamond-shaped doonbajik pendants pair. These lovely pieces feature traditional Turkoman design and deep red and blue glass jewels. Stamped hollow dangles are held inplace by red and blue beads, but these could be easily removed allowing the dangles to swing freely and make a nice jingle. These amazing pieces were originally used as coat clasps and this pair still retains it’s hook and ring that would allow it to be used as originally intended. This clasp seems secure and might even be used to close a dance belt, or at least give the appearance of it!
