Named for an oasis in Morocco in the arid region at the extreme north western edge of the Sahara. The inhabitants of the region include Imazighen Berbers who live in fortified villages and graze sheep. Berber jewellery is worn as ornamentation and as a social symbol that identifies the Berber and the region of Morocco where the jewellery is made. They strongly uphold their tribal symbols and their women as the symbols of fertility and the ethnic identity of the Berbers.
Jade is considered a lucky stone especially by the people of Southeast Asia. The spiritual meaning of jade is longevity and wisdom. Green jade is believed to bring tranquillity to the spirit and calm wisdom to the mind.
