Traditional necklace from the Fulani people, located in north Mali and Niger, West Africa. S.XXI
This kind of Fulani jewelry was traditionally made in gold for the wealthy families to show their importance. .
Nowadays they make them of brass (bronce), using the same old techniques. It´s made out 5 pieces, 1 big piece of twisted brass leaf, 2 smaller pieces also in twisted brass and 2 brass threads doing the closing system.
Sometimes, after a long exposure to humidity weather, the brass gets matte color (many of our clients love it like that). In order to make it shine again just use lemon juice.
It´s light to wear and together with the earrings and bracelets (also in our store) you will have a beautiful outfit for a special event.
Size big twisted pendant: 12 cm length (4,7 inch) x 4 cm wide (1,6 inch).
Length of chain (without the pendant): 18 cm (7 inch)
