Bedouin jewelry is traditionally made of silver with a strong preference for coral, amber, garnet and red colored stones. It is also characterized by the use of bells, balls, chains, coins; as well as colored beads and pendants. Many of these pieces are used as a symbol of protection as well as talismans to ward off evil spirits. Tradition dictates that the jewels must be destroyed when the owner dies. A jeweler is in charge of producing new pieces, always respecting the traditional style. Bedouin jewelry is frequently sold by the gram and prices are always going up. Goldsmiths produce traditional Bedouin jewelry throughout the Arabian Peninsula, but the younger generation is gradually retiring. Bedouin women have been influenced in part by the urban taste for gold. If we think about it, owning gold is a way to save and if the woman is in a time of need, she has a way to get money faster. Bedouin silver jewelery is becoming increasingly rare and difficult to find, which is why it is gaining value for collectors and anyone interested in Bedouin jewelery from the Middle East.
