Description
Great combination of beads make up this stunning necklace.
It incorporates silver Boghdad crosses from Mauritania – silver pieces like these were once considered valuable, and served as a limited form of money.
The Boghdad cross (or “Moghdad”) is a traditional, often granulated, silver pendant characteristic of Berber and Moorish jewelry from Mauritania and Southern Morocco, often originating from the Trarza region of Mauritania.
They were worn as protective amulets.
The color combination of the turquoise and amber flanking them works really well.It measures 29″ from end to end, or 14″ from top to bottom.
