Tribal Disclaimer
Many of the tribal and ethnic jewelry and textiles pieces that Silk Road Tribal sells are old and authentic and/or reconstructed from old and authentic pieces. Many of these items have been handmade and previously worn by tribal people. Therefore, they might be in used and imperfect condition. There may be wear and tear, stains, fading, discoloration, missing pieces, holes, dents, and/or other flaws. I believe it enhances and adds to the richness and beauty of the piece. I try to note any imperfections in the description and photos. |
