Tuareg Warrior Earrings

The designs inscribed in Tuareg jewellery carry ancient meaning that dates back to ages before the Tuareg converted to Islam. Primary motifs include triangles & diamond shapes. The lines ////// symbolize the moving wind in the desert, leaving lines in the sand that indicate its direction. A solid dot stands for the chameleon’s eye, considered a harbinger of good or bad luck depending upon the position of its tail. Designed from a drawing inspired by an original Tuareg antique earring, then handmade by Leo, master silversmith in Indonesia in sterling silver 92.5, followed by casting using the lost-wax-method in brass.
