Berber Symphony

Necklace Description:

The Berber Symphony necklace is a stunning collection that celebrates the rich cultural heritage of the Berber people, featuring an exquisite assortment of antique enamel beads in varying sizes but with similar intricate designs. Each bead, with its distinctive enamel patterns, tells a story of the artistry and craftsmanship passed down through generations.

In addition to the beautiful enamel beads, this necklace includes deep blue lapis beads that add a striking contrast to the earthy tones of the enamel. Lapis lazuli, with its rich history and association with royalty and wisdom, enhances the necklace’s overall elegance and depth.

Further enriching the design are the bicone beads from Mali. These beads are made by hand out of recycled metal, with each one varying in shape and size, adding to the uniqueness of the piece. Found by Hidir, a favorite trader in Koforidua, Ghana, these bicone beads are becoming increasingly rare due to the troubles in Mali, making them a precious and meaningful addition to the necklace.

Much like a symphony where different instruments come together to create a cohesive and beautiful melody, the Berber Symphony necklace brings together beads of different sizes, materials, and origins, each contributing its unique voice to the overall design. The variations in bead size and material add depth and texture to the piece, making it both visually interesting and rich in cultural significance.

This necklace is not just an accessory; it’s a celebration of history, craftsmanship, and the enduring beauty of Berber design, enriched by the timeless appeal of lapis and the meaningful inclusion of Malian bicone beads. Perfect for those who appreciate the deep meanings embedded in their jewelry, the Berber Symphony necklace is a timeless piece that honors the legacy of the Berber people and adds a touch of ancient elegance to any collection.
