Description from the seller

Magnificent traditional and genuine Berber necklace made of Berber amber dating from the second half of the 20th century.

The Berber necklace is much more than a simple fashion accessory; it is a symbol rich in the history and culture of the Berbers, an indigenous people of North Africa.

Traditionally worn by Berber women, this necklace is often made with local materials.

Each Berber necklace is unique, reflecting the craftsmanship and know-how passed down through generations. The patterns and colors used can vary depending on the region and the Berber tribe from which it originates.

Beyond their aesthetic appeal, Berber necklaces often hold social and cultural significance. They can be worn during traditional ceremonies, weddings, or other important events, symbolizing identity and belonging to a specific community.

The making of a Berber necklace often involves a meticulous process, ranging from material selection to traditional techniques such as lost-wax casting to create unique and beautiful pieces.

Because of their cultural importance and artistic beauty, Berber necklaces are often kept as precious objects and passed down from generation to generation. They are also still proudly worn by many Berber women, thus perpetuating a millennia-old tradition and a unique form of cultural expression.

Berber necklace in amber Berber or alternatively called phenolic resin dating from the mid-20th century comes directly from Morocco.

- Weight: approximately 424 grams.
- Dimensions: 60 cm from pearl to pearl.
Mid-20th century.
- Provenance: Morocco.
Support: Not included
