Mid 20th century, Essaouira, Morocco
Jewels searches all over Morocco for these headdress charms. They collected among Moroccan families for dowries and trade. Imagine walking out of your house wearing this gorgeous piece! Or as a berber woman with many around your head! This medallion has a six pointed star. For Moroccans it is the star of Solomon. The point in the center is the eye of God, who sees everything.
The sterling compass was designed by Jewels to hold the amulet. It will keep you on your path, anywhere.
This is a Jewels standard design issue. One is currently available as the medallions are difficult to find.
Compass: 3″
Hand wrought sterling chain: 30.5″
