🧿 Living heritage of Moroccan craftsmanship
The term “beldi” refers to that which is authentically Moroccan, rooted in tradition. In jewelry, it evokes handcrafted pieces often passed down from mother to daughter, derived from ancestral Amazigh, Arab, and Andalusian know-how.
💍 Beldi jewelry is still very popular today
- Rigid gold bracelets (bangles): worn in pairs or stacked, sometimes hammered or chiseled
- Engraved gold rings: often wide, with floral or calligraphic motifs
- Khalkhal (ankle bracelets): revisited in a fine version for brides
- Berber necklaces revisited: transformed into lighter pendant necklaces
- Traditional brooches: reinterpreted as modern brooches or pendants
📿 On what occasions are they worn?
Beldi jewelry is always present at weddings, religious festivals, baptisms, and formal occasions. It is also increasingly integrated into everyday life, worn with modern caftans or even with a suit for a chic contrast.
