Uzbek jewelry

Product Details

Long time ago women living on Uzbek land believed that necklaces and earrings could change their lives. Thus they wore them then not only the usual body parts. There was jewelry to be worn on the back and even under the armpits.

The history of adornments began long before people began to make it of precious metals. With time silver, gold and gems became the best choice to show elegance and beauty. Traditional Uzbek jewelry could tell a life story of its mistress. Price and complexity estimated wealth, colors and details - marital status. The younger was the girl, the brighter and more elegant her jewelry attire was. Amulets and charms, rings and pendants, necklaces and bracelets of various shapes and sizes were also endowed with the ability to drive away the fearful evil spirits.

Glorious and shining was bridal attire, where each detail symbolized something. The maximum weight worn by a girl of those times reached 10 kg. A young wife was to wear charms from the wedding day until childbirth.

There was something that united the girls of all regions. Essential part of any women's costume was called "choppukuk". These were braid pendants - brushes of black silk inserted with silver or gilding. Uzbek women also adored necklaces of coral bunch - "mardzhon” – these were beaded threads intertwined with chains. Firstly, zargars made separate fragments, and then assembled them. Combination of corals with coins (coral monisto) considered particularly elegant. The peak of sophistication and excellence was a massive medallion "zebiguardon" with patterns and precious stones. It was the center of necklace.
