Symbolic Meaning:
This striking circular silver and ebony pendant was hand-crafted by silversmiths of the Koumama tribe of the North Saharan from 99% pure silver and is featured on a leather cord.  Silver is said to bring good luck and happiness.  The symbolic patterns etched on each piece hold deep tribal significance.   The circle typically represents the eye of the chameleon. Chameleons are symbolic of change and they always embrace the environment.  Their eyes move independently of each other, always scanning their surroundings.  This is a powerful reminder that we should keep one eye focused on spiritual ideals and higher goals while keeping the other eye on the physical path to getting there, on the grounding principles of our values, our work and our family.  The half circle represents the moon and its importance in a Tuareg’s life. Tuareg are nomads who travel across many borders of North African desert nations. Since the desert is incredibly hot during the day, they usually reserve travel for the night time, utilizing the light of the moon and familiar stars as a reliable compass. Triangles are prominently etched motifs which are considered a source of protection and good luck. They represent the life-giving power of women and nature and embody the very essence of female divinity.  They are a symbol of femininity reflecting the matriarchal aspect of Tuareg culture.  Wearing this necklace as  a powerful statement of your independence and beauty...both inside and out. Wear it proudly as a symbol of your openness to change, to always striving for spiritual upliftment.
