Product Information

Beautiful antique Tuareg ring, decorated with traditional ornamental motifs: a combination of lines and triangles known as “the Prophet’s sandals.”

The raised central bead symbolizes a specific social status for the wearer.

This decoration serves a protective purpose against negative energies and also functions as a way to display the wearer’s social rank, wealth, and prestige.

It’s important to remember that for the Tuareg, silver is a sacred and protective material.
This is why most of their talismans and jewelry are made using this metal.
