YEMENI NECKLACES. (12 Jun 2006)
At first glance, silver jewelry from the Middle East and North Africa--and sometimes as far away as South Asia--can look alike because of shared heritage. Jewelry from these areas has several purposes: it is a means of wearing one's wealth, for adornment, and is often expected to ward off the Evil Eye. In spite of the similarities, there can be striking differences in style and workmanship from countries like Yemen and Morocco; but probably all the pieces would have been made by Jewish silversmiths living in these countries before and shortly after the Israeli-Arab War of 1948. Even within each of these countries the jewelry styles are surprisingly varied. Here we view just a few of the many kinds of necklaces produced by Jewish silversmiths in Yemen before 1950, when almost all of the remaining Jews immigrated to Israel in the famous "Magic Carpet" airlift.
