Judith’s Head offers authentic, antique jewelry from the Pashtun, Turkoman,
Baluch, Kuchi, and Uzbek tribes of Afghanistan and Pakistan. We offer
affordable prices making it easy for the experienced dancer to add to
her collection and the beginner to create one. These pieces were originally
dowry pieces for young brides. The jewelry itself is usually made of mixed
metals ornamented with glass stones and beads, although pieces will have
semiprecious stones such as lapis or be made from finer metals such as
silver. Judith hand-picks each piece to guarantee that you will have beautiful
jewelry to select from. How can you see these beautiful pieces of jewelry?
