African jewelry: Our silver and amber necklace is valued highly in Africa. Amber originally from the Baltic sea and from the coast of Morocco is prized for its color and medicinal properties. It has been thought to cure a variety of ailments such as poor sight and fever. By tradition Tuareg jewelry is made of silver ‘the pure metal blessed by the Prophet.’ All desert people who can afford to do so, wear silver. Our necklace consists of 7 large silver balls each with an applique design; five of which has a ban of amber. Interspersed between are 28 small amber roundlets and 10 tiny multi-sided pure silver beads that are incredibly embossed! Near the silver lobster claw clasp are two 1 1/4 inch long silver cylindrical segments, known as charm cases, that originally were designed to hold holy phrases. This well crafted indicator of wealth not only is a promoter of good health but serves also as a talisman of good luck!
