Pashtun


		Pashtun jewelry tends to use chains, beads, old glass remnants, cutwork and hammered designs. The belt buckle to the left uses a technique of blowing mercury through a straw to create the design- it is no longer done due to the high incidence of mercury poisoning.

		These three necklaces and pendants all use glass beads and metal stamping. The hearts and circles are hollow.
