Amazigh Silver Handmade Fibula Necklace, handmade necklace

Berber fibula necklace and handmade silver 925.

The Berber fibula is a decorative and symbolic object from the Berber heritage. In its native language, in Tamazight, it is called tiseghnest (pl. tiseghnas), or tazerzit (pl. tizerzay) depending on the region.

We now know that tazerzet is the fibula of Gaia which embodies the protection of honor and fertility, it takes the form of a triangle inverted and sometimes cut at its end. It is the alchemical symbol of the Earth as an element, but it is also the symbol of Gaia the Mother Earth of the Gods. The interlocking triangles symbolize the relief, the depth of the earth and the jewel in the center the heart of the planet, the other small side triangles are the mountains.

The wearing of the tellurian fibula is thus a connection to Mother Earth, a reminder of the origins, the proclamation of this sacred link between Libyan women and their protective and nourishing Goddess from whom they seek help and comfort throughout their primary existence.
