In the middle of this hoop reads "dilem bicyclem", in Dari, the lingua franca of Afghanistan. "Dilem bicyclem" is a very sassy & classy way of pretty much saying "I do what I want (b*tch)" ;) This one is for all my INDEPENDENT darlings who give 0 f*cks.

Gold-plated brass, with the diameter of the hoop being about 7 cm (2.75 inches). I cannot handle heavy earrings so I've designed all my earrings to be everyday-wearable. 

Handmade, beautiful and unique gold jewelry, from Afghanistan via California, with love.

Manny is currently researching mysticism solely so they can build an ethereal robot and make make my ways to Saturn's moons for a vacation. All need you need is cup noodles and some stardust.

Fourth Image, Model: I'm Nelufar— let me help you out Neh-loo-fur. No I don't go by Nell. Born in Kabul, made in Camden, London. It is that which makes us different that makes us stronger. Life is art and art is love.

(Nelufar is very modest, she is also an award-winning journalist/reporter)
