Antique vintage lapis lazuli hard stone ring

This charming handcrafted Afghan ring is crafted from hand-worked silver and embellished with deep blue lapis lazuli paste, with a small turquoise detail adorning the bird's head. Its elongated, sculptural shape recalls the traditional style of Central Asian goldsmiths, where the combination of chiseled metal and natural stones is a distinctive feature.

The design's protagonist is a stylized bird, a recurring symbol in Afghan and Middle Eastern art. In local culture, the bird represents:

• Freedom and lightness of spirit, the ability to rise above difficulties.
• Protection and good luck, because it is considered a messenger between the earthly and spiritual worlds.
• Rebirth and journey, thanks to its nature as a migratory and sacred creature in many traditions.

Wearing this ring means carrying with you not only a unique piece of craftsmanship, but also a symbolic talisman that celebrates independence, harmony, and connection with the spiritual world.
