Moroccan Vintage Silver Sun Design Earrings - Hamsa Dangles
Vintage silver earrings with pretty etching and stamped or punched design in the “sun” pattern representing the life-giving rays of the sun. Each piece has three small dangles in the shape of stylized hamsas to ward off that pesky evil eye!
Vintage silver Moroccan earrings with engraved design. This design is a sun symbol which represents life-nurturing abundance from its warmth, and radiating healing and peace with it's rays. And of course small hamsa ( khamsa ) dangles are included to protect against that pesky evil eye! Hook style earrings have 10 to 12 gauge wires, usually larger than western style piercings can manage. Lovely pieces for stretched piercings or for adding to headpieces.
Berber, or Amazigh, jewelry represents much more than simple adornment. Each piece can signify fertility, wealth, social and marital status. The Berbers or Imazighen (‘Free people’; plural of Amazigh) are the original inhabitants of North Africa. They speak a number of related languages and share a common cultural heritage. Most Berbers today live in Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Mali, Mauritania and Niger.
