The word Kuchi itself is from a Persian word meaning migration, in relation to nomads or gypsies, and does not describe a particular group or people, but rather a state of being, incorporating many different tribes and peoples, but in particular the Pashtoon tribes that wandered the border areas of Afghanistan and Pakistan. Designs are often centuries old and incorporate influences from India, Central Asia, the Middle East, and former Soviet Republic states. The metal used is often melted down from whatever was available to the jeweler.
