Turquoise bracelet, twisted band — Nuristan, Afghanistan

This design stands out with its elongated, smooth turquoise stones, set on a finely twisted band, reminiscent of a braided rope pattern. A more graphic silhouette, where the metal line responds to the elongated shape of the stones.

Elongated stones, a twisted line

The turquoise stones, longer than they are wide, bring an elegant dimension to the wrist. The band surrounding them is twisted, a pattern that catches the light differently depending on the angle and gives movement to the whole.

The bracelet has an inner diameter of approximately 6 cm. It can be slightly adjusted with gentle pressure to better fit the wrist. We recommend not applying excessive pressure to preserve the bracelet's shape and integrity.

Twisting, a technical skill

Twisting a metal wire into a regular twist without weakening it requires a masterful touch: too tight, the twist breaks; too loose, it loses its relief. Nuristan artisans work this wire by hand, adjusting the tension as they go, until they achieve this continuous line that frames the stones.

This technique, like the rest of the piece, bears the discreet marks of handcraftsmanship: subtle irregularities in the twist, which make each bracelet unique.

About the metal

Please note: this bracelet is not made of solid silver. It is crafted from German silver, an artisanal alloy that may oxidize slightly over time, especially when in contact with skin, humidity, or cosmetics. This patina is part of the piece's charm; it is the sign of a living object, not a defect.
