Berber

Arkandis presents a curated selection of antique and vintage Berber jewellery from Morocco and Algeria, including silver bracelets, fibulae, necklaces, amulets and bead jewellery. These pieces reflect the great regional diversity of Amazigh jewellery traditions, from the Anti-Atlas and Moroccan tribal groups to Kabyle, Chaoui, Mozabite and Aurès communities in Algeria.

Traditional Berber jewellery combines silverwork, coral, amber, glass, enamel and other locally valued materials. Arkandis researches each object individually and records origin, techniques, hallmarks, dating and comparable references whenever possible. Original patina and signs of use are preserved as part of the history of the piece.
