- Delivery & Returns
Drops of deep blue lapis lazuli descend from delicately textured cut-out metalwork, conjuring the lattice-screened windows found at Bagh-e-Babur, the final resting place of the first Mughal emperor Babur in Kabul, Afghanistan.
Turquoise Mountain works to preserve artisanal traditions in Afghanistan, drawing on the exquisite aesthetic heritage of the region and creating opportunities for local people.
Each stone is natural and unique and colour may slightly vary.
