Moroccan Necklace - Berber Copal and Metal Beads Necklace - Amazigh Beads

Pretty newly strung beaded necklace from Morocco made from a mix of large copal beads with metal bicone beads.  Necklaces, headdresses, bracelets and other jewelry using silver, coral, amber, beads and other elements, and even the colors and designs of these pieces all have meaning in tribal societies.
