Berber Strand of Beads, Morocco

Amber, in Morocco, is worn near the skin. Warmth, color, and a bit of protection.

This strand of large amber beads comes from the Berber (Amazigh) peoples, and is about eighteen and a half inches long. Amazigh adornment has long made use of amber for these associations, and generous strands like this were worn as personal wealth and passed down within families.

The beads carry softened surfaces and rich honey tones of age and wear. Wear it, or lay it on a table. It takes either arrangement calmly.
