I explained that each piece is gathered from source and this is how I am able to give details of origins.
She commented that it must have highs and lows too...my reply!

Yes you are so right!!

Sick and ill in 40+ degree heat with no shower and a scary loo!
lost on a remote road with three tired kids!
all balanced by hot coffee offered by a complete stranger when we got snowed in in the mountains!
Interactions in remote homes far from the madness of tourists with people who you share no common language with, and still smile and laugh together!
And every now and then finding a treasure which makes my heart skip a beat!!
i would nt change my job for the world!

glad you like the jewels!

Hi everyone, and a very Happy New Year to you all.
I am just back from a wonderful buying trip to Morocco, with coffers full of the wonderful jewels of the Berber and Tuareg people.

The trip was a huge sucess, I have found items which I considered to be beyond my reach having only seen them in museum collections before .
I shall post images here. Please feel free to contact me regarding any of them.
I am now working on photos , editing, and adding them all to my online shop.
I have around 4000 pieces to take care of so please be patient! ( Patient ..I don't understand the concept!ha ha!)

The website is undergoing a complete re write also by me..no rest for the avid gatherer!!, Iam aiming to launch the new version mid Feb!

Thanks to everyone for your ongoing interest in my travels and finds.
I will try to find a moment to make a travel blog sometime!

Warm wishes
Sarah

The tribal jewellery and beads of Morocco are among the most beautiful in Africa, exquisite pieces featuring talismans, silver, beading, amber, coral, cloisoinne, semi precious stones, filigree and glass to name but a few ...................................................

Beyond simple adornment, it can identify clan, symbolise wealth and reflect cultural traditions. It may even act as a source of supernatural and religious protection for the wearer

My passion for the beautiful jewels and wonderful people of the Mahgreb has led me to create this emporium..from antiques to contemporary, including PERIAPT featuring my own creations.

Enjoy browsing, and please feel free to ask any questions at all.

Warm wishes
Red Sarah
