How’s this for a statement necklace?! This Mofu Hammered Cache-Sexe Pendants with hand hammered brass bicone beads that came to us from Cameroon / Nigeria would certainly fit the bill for an outstanding and eye-catching piece, but that’s not the only way a piece such as this could be worn. Mofu and Kirdi Tribal Peoples used “cache-sexe” brass pendants and beaded aprons were created primarily to “hide the sex,” or genitalia, of girls and women. They were traditionally presented to a family upon the birth of a daughter, and they were worn on special occasions such as weddings and the presentation of newborn children.

Sneak peek: This outstanding Antique Coral and Silver Necklace just came down to be photographed for the website as a part of an extra special collection, but I couldn’t resist trying to it on! Featuring six (!) strands of perfectly layered Coral, this would be such an excellent statement piece to add a pop of color and pizazz to any ensemble.

Looking for a truly unique piece of jewelry with a history? How about this intriguing Nepal “Tengura” Protective Necklace, in which phallic or bullet shaped pieces of bone set into metal bezels that are strung together in a neckband or collar. These collars are believed to contain Apotropaic magic (from Greek apotrepein “to ward off” from apo- “away” and trepein “to turn”) is a type of magic intended to turn away harm or evil influences, as in deflecting misfortune or averting the evil eye. #tengura #nepal #nepalesejewelry #nepaljewelry #protectivejewelry #protectionnecklace #apotropaic #apotropaicmagic #magic #evileye #protection #vintage #vintagejewelry #statementnecklace #uniquenecklace #shop #nyc #unionsquare #beadsofparadise (at Beads of Paradise NYC) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdBsqbvum9F/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
