Original Vintage Berber Necklace, Dadès Valley, Morocco
An original vintage Berber necklace from the Dadès Valley, south Morocco. This eye-catching unique necklace comprises branch coral, trade beads, coral beads, silver beads and colourful glass beads alongside a beautiful array of antique high-grade silver pendants. The necklace still has its original stringing. Pendants and beads from headdresses and old necklaces were commonly repurposed to make necklaces such as this one by the tribes of the Dadès region, so each necklace is a one-off. Collectible and wearable.
