These beautiful silver charms vary in size from a half inch (1 cm.) to a full inch (2.5 cm.)

About the bracelets:

Ankle or Wrist

The wrist bracelets we have featured are traditionally worn on the ankles and still can be but the modern times have now brought these beautiful bracelets up to arm's length! Very bulky but hollow, made of silver and crafted by the hand of an Omani artisan, these fantastic bracelets are hinged and held tight with a secure pin for easy placement and removal. This traditional design is not only a real eye catcher when worn but also makes a for a wonderful coffee table decoration.

The adult bracelet, shown above, for the ankle/wrist measures 4 inches across but has an inside diameter of 3 inches. The child size bracelet of the same design, click below, measures 3 1/4 inches with an inside diameter of only 2 inches. It, too, is hinged and secured with a pin. Unlike the adult bracelet, the child's bracelet typically contains some baubles inside so that when worn, a sweet jingling sound can be heard. Entertaining for the child, as well it makes for a great child monitor for mom!

Amulets

The wonderful amulets are worn on the upper part of the arm and are a traditional Omani design, hollow, made of silver and crafted by the hand of an Omani artisan. They just slip on and are pushed up above the elbow.

The price and weight difference as noted above are correct. In fact, the smaller bracelet does outweigh the larger bracelet and, therefore, costs more, though both are hollow the thickness of the metal used on the smaller bracelet is greater which is the reason for the increased weight.
The smaller amulet measures 5 inches across with an inside diameter of 3 1/2 inches. There's no exact way of knowing but based on those who have bought it, it appears that a woman of average height and proper weight could probably wear this amulet with comfort.

The larger amulet, better suited for a woman with larger upper arms, measures 5 1/2 inches across with an inside diameter of 4 inches.

We suggest a measurement of your upper arming be taken before placing your order to avoid the difficulty of exchanging for a different size.

The belt used for these spectacular khanjers is no less beautiful itself. Starting with a leather base for the strap, the Omani artisan hand stitches pure silver threads onto it creating a very elaborate design. Along with the strap is a special section for the buckle which has more detailing to coordinate with the belt strap.
The strap attaches to the loops on the khanjer which are located on either side of the case. The buckle section is then attached to the belt ends to secure the belt around the man's waist. It is a very beautiful piece of silver work and a handsome tradition worn by the Omani men, young and old alike.
If you wish to purchase a belt please specify as some khanjers are sold without.

Omani khanjers are a beautifully crafted item and there are as many different designs are there are price ranges. The khanjer is an important part of the Omani man's traditional dress and the Omani style of khanjer is unique.

The item is normally crafted of 100% pure silver. It requires the skills of three different artisans to handle all of the details of this fine item. One skill is needed for the hand stitched belt and buckle. It is a leather base and strands of thread made of pure silver are literally stitched onto the leather belt creating for a variety of designs, all very beautiful.

The belt is used to hold the khanjer in place. It is worn around the waist and for very special occasions a special cloth is first wrapped around the waist with the khanjer and belt then placed on top. The cloth normally coordinates with the man's massar, or turbin.

The khanjer itself typically measures around 13 inches in length. This includes the khanjer itself as well as the case it is stored in. The handle of the knife is normally around 5 or 6 inches in length, with a blade made of metal measuring 7 inches long and is two inches at its widest point.


The case in which it is stored and worn on the belt in is around 8 inches long and at its widest point the khanjer measures 10 inches across from tip of khanjer to the far right silver loop.
Two additional artisans are needed for the creation of the khanjer and it's case. One person, typically a man, handles the lower portion of the case where the hand stitching is worked, again with 100% pure silver strands. And the upper portion of the case as well as the handle of the khanjer is by a third artisan.


The handle is made of a variety of things. Always adorned with pure silver, the base of the handle is often made from either genuine ivory, rhinoceros horn or sandalwood, and occasionally you will find man-made materials used, though traditionally that is not the case.
These combined efforts take anywhere from 1 to 2 months to create a beautiful khanjer.

The khanjer's price is greatly varied and depending on the quality of the handle's base, the blade material itself, the purity of the silver and, perhaps above all, the difficulty of the design stitched and crafted on the casing, these exquisite knives can cost anywhere from $45 to $4,500 in silver.


We are featuring three khanjers. Two khanjers are Saidi design. This style of khanjer was once worn exclusively by the Royal family, Al Said, but is no longer exclusive. The other design is traditional Omani design worn by all. The one is as beautiful as the next.
