19th century, India and Morocco
The glass Moroccan dagger amulet is worn by women to protect them from the pain of labor. It’s such a beautiful and powerful idea.
This one is a cobalt blue color that shines when reflected so wear it with white, if you like. Khadija in our Marrakech atelier did the sublime weaving between each tiny, very tiny, glass white heart trade bead. This is days of work! Not only are Jewels’ pieces made with the most gorgeous old and ancient objects, but the design and work put into each are also true acts of beauty and art.
A Jewels Standard Limited Design; no two exact
Dagger: 1 x 3/8″
Necklace length: 19″
A note about our woven cords. We weave these by hand, every one of them; the work is labor intensive; like all Jewels’ work no two are exact, as each of us and how things should be. When warmed to the skin the cord becomes more supple, conforms to the wearer, hangs just right; the necklace transforms more than just a necklace. It becomes her or him. This is the Slow Jewelry Movement.
