Moroccan Berber Tribal Jewelry Necklace from North Africa
This wonderful handcrafted Moroccan Berber tribal jewelry necklace was recently restrung using vintage beads and a very large Berber Taguemount Egg-Shaped Enamel Bead.
The rich blue, green, and yellow enamel finish is characteristic of Berber jewelry from this region.
The old beads along the sides are of animal-horn amber from the Atlas Mountains, along with traditional Tuareg and Berber silver-with-metal beads.
The use of horn and resin amber in jewelry-making is a traditional practice among the tribes of Northern Africa, where true amber is scarce.
The simple black cord allows for adjusting the length as desired.
