Early – Mid 20th century
These resin and glass charms are wonderful little sculptures. The central piece, lapiz in color, is Egyptian and the others are from different parts of Morocco that have found their way serendipitously into Jewels’ stashes of amulets over the years. We linked them with hand woven rondelles to hang from our hand woven cord.
One of a kind
Central charm: 1 7/8 x 3/8″
Cord: 24.5″
A note about our woven cords. We weave these by hand, every one of them. Like all Jewels’ work no two are exact, as each of us. The work is labor intensive. When warmed to the skin the cord becomes more supple, conforms to the wearer, hangs at it should; the necklace transforms more than just a necklace. It becomes her.
