Silver jewelry belongs to the rural Berber and Arab tradition in which self-adornment is one of the great pleasures, offering a wide diversity of form and material. Green, yellow, and blue enamel amulet boxes or herz fromTiznit, Tuareg crosses and earrings with lapis lazuli, coral, agate, carnelian, onyx, and amber, wide n'bala bracelets from the Sahara that close with pin and chain, coin-laden headbands, or selta, from the Middle Atlas, large fibulae such as our tisernas style from the Rif, khamsa or hand of Fatima pendants (khamsa, means "5" for the fingers of the hand, and also may designate the five pillars of Islam: profession of faith, prayer, alms, fasting during Ramadan, and the pilgrimmage to Mecca), antique mousraf - hanging boxes to hold verses from the Koran. Brass or silver trays, pewter teapots, and ewers further showcase impressive craftsmanship in household objects used every day, but each of these items would make splendid anniversary or wedding gifts.
