  • Dear Nazir; This is some beautiful stuff! When I was working and living in Cairo, there was a shop, which had quite a good number of Afghani and Pakistani jewelry. I really love the pink glass stones on silver jewelry. The two colors make each other stand out beautifully! Thank you for posting this. With kind regards. Peter

  • This is fascinating, Nazir. It would be so interesting to see some of the individual pieces. For instance there is a long, beautifully decorated piece in the middle of the picture and a similar piece hiding under some of the jewellery on the right. What are they? do you have a photo you could show?
