Moroccan Jewelry

Jewelry making in Morocco was once the preserve of the Jewish population. Today, gold- and silverwork is made by many skilled artisans throughout the country. Gold markets can be found in all large cities. Classic jewelry made in Fez and Tangier remains largely faithful to ornate Andalusian design. Essaouira boasts floral designs and enamel work. In Marrakech, one can find exotic pieces that have traversed the caravan route from sub-Saharan Africa, including Senegal and Timbuktu.
