All of the Tuareg tribal silver adornment you see here on this website has been hand-made and co-created together with the Koumama family of Tuareg silversmiths in Agadez, Niger, West Africa. Every other year I have attempted to spend 3 to 5 months there living and working together with various silversmiths and walking from area to area and artisan to artisan to insure the highest quality possible in form, stone-setting, hand-engraving and finishing. Since 2009, I have chosen not to go to Mali or Northern Niger due to kindnappings & anti-government activity by the MNJ or Movement for Justice which strives for greater economic and political autonomy for the Tuareg people. Subsequently, many of the silver pieces I bead and sell are precious and irreplaceable at this time.
As for my carnelian and leather talismans mixed with old Tuareg crosses or authentic African rings or any of my old African trade bead creations... many of these components are pieces that I have looked for and found in artisan and local markets while walking endless sweaty distances in African villages or capital cities during my travels. It is my hope that you will one day touch your own mystical soulsource through the magic of wearing any one of these powerful amulets or silver adornments and thus experience the endless beauty of the Sahara and her nomads... the living earth & water spirits of the Motherland, Africa, as it is profoundly deep, ancient and epic. Bless.
