Antique North African 14K Gold and Coral Protective Amulet Necklace (1870)
About the Item
This unique traditional necklace originates from North Africa, most likely from Morocco or Tunisia. It is crafted from 14-karat gold and adorned with natural coral beads. The piece dates back to 1870 and has a total weight of 52.5 grams, including the corals.
The necklace is designed with symbolic elements that represent protection and good fortune. The central pendant is decorated with angelic faces, believed to ward off the evil eye, while the fish-shaped charms are symbols of prosperity and blessings. The combination of gold and coral was commonly used in traditional jewelry, as it was thought to provide spiritual protection and positive energy to the wearer.
Measuring 18 inches in length, this exquisite necklace is a rare and historically significant piece that reflects the artistry and cultural heritage of North African craftsmanship. Its intricate goldwork and symbolic motifs make it not only a beautiful adornment but also a meaningful talisman.
