MOROCCAN JEWELERY

The craft of jewelry is deep-rooted in Moroccan
tradition. The
skills of Andalusian and Jewish immigrants historically 
monopolized the workshops of Fes, Marrakech, Essaouira, and Tiznit up until as recently as the middle of the 20th century. 
Jewelry uses many techniques of casting, engraving, filigree, chasing, and enameling to communicate messages of wealth, 
status, and identity. City jewelry is usually gold crafted in intricate filigree and often set with pearls, garnets, emeralds, 
and rubies. Flamboyant Berber jewelry is made of silver and often embellished with coral and amber beads.
