19th and early 20th century Morocco
Some of the most gorgeous and unusual French made glass faceted beads traded in Morocco mixed with a fewother glass trade beads, most likely from Venice, all coveted and collected. The square headdress charms are classic Berber (Amazigh) and are gold foil over metal. All the beads and charms have the worn, wear and patina Jewels seeks. We wove our very finest cord for this necklace.
Glam, ma’am!
One of a kind
Average square charm with hasp: just over 1.5″
Necklace length: 17 5/8″
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.
