Celebra Necklace
This breathtaking necklace holds deep tradition among the women of the Tuareg tribe. Crafted with delicate glass beads and sterling silver, it exudes uniqueness, suitable for both everyday elegance and special occasions.
Such celebra necklaces are lovely designs belonging to the overall category of shat shat (chat chat) necklaces; the traditional shat shat pendant motif is replaced by a series of engraved silver rectangular shapes of varying dimensions.
The Legend of The Celebra Necklace:
The tale of this necklace recounts how a caravan lost its way in the Tenere desert between Bilma and Agadez, men and camels dying of thirst and fatigue. A lovely young woman appeared suddenly to them and gave them water, showing them the way to the nearest well. She wore an unusual necklace made of small pendants of geometric designs. After saving the men of the caravan from certain death, she disappeared into the night, as suddenly as she appeared to them. When they reached Agadez, the men of the caravan told the miraculous story of their rescue by this mysterious young woman, and an artisan created this necklace to commemorate this event. He called it Celebra, the jeweler creates a moon shape made of small pendants upon which he finely engraved symbols of the universe, of the desert, and the world of Nomads; stars, dunes, trails, and encampment sites. The celebra jewel carries the memories of trail days and caravan routes through the desert, and night travel guided by stars. [Tuareg Jewelry: Traditional Patterns and Symbols]

Jewelry Care Instructions:Mystics & Sages jewelry is meticulously crafted by hand, incorporating semi-precious stones, crystals, sterling silver, ebony wood, and leather. Because of the handmade nature of our jewelry, slight variations in color, size, or pattern may occur due to the use of natural elements. Please note that for hygiene purposes, we only accept returns on earring purchases if the items are deemed of unacceptable quality or inaccurately described.
Please handle your jewelry with care as Mystics and Sages cannot be held responsible for any breakages resulting from mishandling. Avoid contact with personal items such as sanitizer, lotions, perfumes, and oils as certain metals and stones may react, leading to discoloration or tarnishing. We advise against wearing this product while showering, swimming, exercising, or sleeping. Regularly clean with a soft cloth and store in a dry, dark place for optimal protection.
Sterling Silver:Sterling silver serves as an excellent choice for those with sensitive skin seeking a durable and low-maintenance metal, or simply drawn to its aesthetic appeal.
Tarnishing is a common occurrence with sterling silver, often resulting from contact with various chemicals. Sweat, sulfur, and chlorine are among the primary culprits, and these substances are often encountered in daily life. The good news, however, is that sterling silver can easily be restored to its original luster with the use of a jewelry-specific polishing cloth.
Ebony Wood:When caring for ebony wood, ensure to delicately wash any dirt from your jewelry using a soft cloth and mild soap, and promptly dry it afterward. Store your jewelry in an airtight container to shield it from moisture and dust. Avoid exposing the wood to acidic chemicals that may harm or distort its appearance. If your wood jewelry loses its luster over time, a small amount of beeswax can be used to gently polish it.
Semi-precious Stones:Caring for semiprecious stones like agate is straightforward. Regular cleaning with warm, sudsy water and a soft cloth helps maintain their shine. Ensure thorough drying after cleaning to prevent water spots. Avoid exposing the jewelry to harsh chemicals, as they can damage both the gemstone and the metal setting. Proper storage in a soft pouch or jewelry box prevents scratches and tangling with other jewelry. Handle the jewelry with care, avoiding activities that may cause harsh impact or scratches.
