The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

An Asyk is a traditional heart-shaped or cordiform pendant crafted by Turkmen silversmiths, historically worn by women of nomadic tribes across Central Asia as part of traditional bridal or ceremonial attire.

Traditional Turkmen jewellery is crafted primarily from high-grade or alloyed silver, frequently accented with fire-gilding or gold wash and inset with polished red or orange carnelian cabochons and glass beads.

Authentic pieces feature hand-chased or engraved surface decoration, fire-gilded accents showing natural wear, hand-cut carnelian stones, and clear signs of traditional hand-hammered fabrication rather than modern casting techniques.

Beyond wearing as statement jewellery, historic tribal metalwork can be mounted inside custom shadow-box frames, displayed on bespoke metal museum stands, or hung against textured textile backdrops.

Clean gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth to remove dust and oils, avoiding harsh chemical liquid polishes which can strip historical surface gilding or damage organic stone settings.
