About the Item

This vintage Turkoman cuff bracelet is a stunning example of traditional Central Asian jewelry, featuring rich cultural symbolism and expert craftsmanship. Handcrafted from gilt silver—a silver alloy washed in gold—the piece is adorned with polished carnelian stones, historically believed to offer protection and vitality. The design reflects the heritage of the Turkoman (Turkmen) tribes, known for their bold, architectural jewelry worn by women as symbols of wealth, identity, and spiritual power. The cuff’s ornate detailing includes engraved motifs and finely tooled metalwork that speak to its tribal origins. The vibrant reddish-orange carnelian stones contrast beautifully with the warm, aged gold tone of the metal, giving the bracelet a dramatic, timeless appeal. Its solid construction and open-back design allow it to comfortably fit most wrists while making a bold statement. This piece likely dates to the mid-20th century or earlier and has acquired a soft patina that enhances its vintage character. Whether worn as a centerpiece accessory or displayed as a collector’s item, this Turkoman cuff is a captivating fusion of cultural history and wearable art. It’s perfect for lovers of ethnic jewelry, boho style, or those who appreciate the craftsmanship of nomadic traditions.
