There is charm to be found in traditional Afghani jewelry, especially in its power to make even the simplest of outfits stand out. We love the versatility of Afghani jewelry; wear it to a wedding, with a plain black western top or even a three-piece shalwar kameez, there are plenty of options for all tastes and moods.

My personal style in three words
Cool, relaxed, freestyle: I like to keep things comfy, but also fun. I don’t shy away from extending a day outfit to night- all that’s needed is the perfect amount of edge in a mostly relaxed fit. Maybe a pop of color or anything with shoulder pads, army print, chains!
