this one is very Special too!
I am afraid I cannot help, but it is gorgeous! At first sight it looked to me like an Afghan ring with Yomut make-over :-)
The rings are all works of art, sometimes simple but always with fantasy and meaning.
According to experts , this ring is not worn by Pasthun women therefore is this too big and too heavy. Betty, this ring can come also from the North of Afghanistan instead of the South ? I don't know! Unfortunately i have never seen them in photographs wearing!
