Silver & Chevron Tuareg Ring

An authentic silver Tuareg ring with a central chevron bead and granulation. These multi-layered chevron beads were originally made in Murano, Venice, and were transported to North Africa in the 15^th century where Tuareg silversmiths incorporated slices of the beads to make these beautiful rings. The circles surrounding the chevron bead symbolise eternity. The band of the ring features four protective eye motifs and further decoration. This ring has a hallmark of a cow denoting .950 silver. Beautiful.
