Brass chains, laminated brass medals

 

 

 
 

The piece Al Jeel was born from the overlapping of two different influences: the armor and bely-dance adornments.

This superimposition creates a structure that plays with the concepts of exposure and protection of the female body.

Alongside this duality the piece of jewellery, usually intended as a small accessory, invests a wider area of the body, so to make a statement of it, as it was the costume of a ritual.
