👑 The jewel: living memory of the family
In Moroccan culture, jewelry is never more than a simple ornament. It is often given on a significant occasion – birth, engagement, wedding – and then passed on to daughters or granddaughters as a symbolic heirloom .
💎 The most popular jewelry in Morocco
- Khalkhal (ankle bracelet): often made of solid gold, very present in rural and Berber traditions
- Rigid bracelets (bangles): worn in pairs or trios, heavy and finely chiseled
- Engraved gold ring: symbol of family belonging, often passed down to the eldest
- Antique necklaces: with geometric patterns, filigree beads or medallions
- Amazigh brooches: ornaments transmitted as historical or symbolic pieces
💫 A value far beyond metal
These jewels have a dual value: material (through the weight of gold or stones) and emotional (linked to the family history). Wearing an inherited jewel is a way of connecting with the women who wore it before you.
