Vintage Silver Moroccan Berber Ring with Chevron Bead
£110.00
An authentic high-grade silver Moroccan Amazigh (Berber) ring with a central chevron bead and granulation, made in the 1990s. The layered glass bead is used to represent the ‘evil eye’ and is perceived to offer protection to the wearer whilst the circles surrounding the chevron bead symbolise eternity. The band of the ring features four further protective eye motifs and further decoration. This ring has a hallmark of an Ox's head denoting .800 silver. Beautiful.
