Turkoman have few material possessions. But they have beautifully ornaments made by their own hands. The most common form of decoration usually with incised lines. They use gilding to accentuate and define the lines. Almost never found old Turkoman jewelry with solid gold.

Settings of carnelian stone or red glass were oval or round, and most were raised.
