First up, we bring you this gorgeous necklace made by: artist Amal Derder:
Originally from Morocco, Amal Derder immigrated to the United States thirteen years ago. Amal discovered her gift for jewelry creation only a year ago. Since her discovery, she has created hundreds of distinctive and unique pieces all inspired from her Moroccan roots. The first time we met Amal she shared with us one of the reasons she loves making jewelry:
Being a Moroccan woman primarily means that our ancestors were originally Berbers. Berbers were Morocco’s original inhabitants and the jewelry I make definitely derives from my ancestor’s traditional design. Crafting my jewelry allows me to share part of my culture and past with other people.
This beautiful necklace features red coral and turquoise and red colored glass beads with a circular magnetic clasp. Perfect for summer, this piece is sure to make a statement!
