It is customary for all Afghan women to wear Kuchi jewelry with traditional Afghan clothes, especially during holidays and for special occasions. In modern day, women have worn Kuchi jewelry with Western clothes for a sheik and yet authentic look. Lapis, wood and base metal makeup this unique piece.
