One of the signature features of Siwian tunics is a heavily embellished and embroidered neck opening that splits down almost to the naval. With square or rectangular designs varying in arrangement and colour around the neckline, with one embellished square always sitting at the base of the opening, resting on the naval of the wearer.
These square or rectangular designs are known as 'Al khatem' - protective 'seals' are particularly important for a bride's wedding dress, as these symbols guard against envy, with the shape at the base of the low neck opening sitting over the woman's naval protecting her reproductive organs and luck in fertility.
Our Al khatem earrings take their shape from neck opening of Siwan tunics and the embellished, protective seals that surround it. Featuring a luminescent green tourmaline and geometric pattern on the reverse side.

Considered Design and Craftsmanship.
Precious, semi-precious or perhaps not even precious at all - such as a lustrous, beautifully coloured thread. We love to explore and celebrate the beauty and differences of what jewellery and adornment means both to us and so many different cultures and communities all over the world.
