Vintage pair of Waziri earrings with long bell dangles. Pretty glass jewels in red and green with small turquoise color insets in a row. This type of earring usually cannot be worn in regular western piercings unless you have stretched your piercings. If you will be wearing these in piercings without the protection of tunnels, please remember these are tribally used pieces and be sure the wires are clean before wearing. The tribal peoples of Waziristan still live a traditional lifestyle and govern themselves to a great extent. The border with Afghanistan is porous here, and people travel from one country to the other relatively freely.

A NOTE ON THE CONDITION OF TRIBAL ITEMS: Our jewelry is used tribal jewelry, from faraway lands. As used pieces the condition of our items will reflect their prior lives as treasured tribal pieces. Please know that we strive to maintain the tribal allure of our items and therefore we do not clean or repair these pieces in any way. We leave that choice to the buyer, as each may prefer something different. This not only maintains the old, tribal look of each piece that our belly dance customers seek, but also preserves the value of a piece that cleaning might diminish.
We do our best to describe any flaws that may be present in our items, and we encourage you to read the full description and look at all photos closely to judge the condition of the item for yourself and know exactly what you are ordering. If you have questions about the condition of any item, please ask!
