Berber Fibula Earrings ... Authentic handmade women's accessories, made of 925 silver.
The Berber fibula is a decorative and symbolic object from Berber heritage. In its native language, Tamazight, it is called tiseghnest (pl. tiseghnas), or tazerzit (pl. tizerzay) depending on the region .
We now know that tazerzet is the fibula of Gaia, which embodies the protection of honor and fertility. It takes the form of an inverted triangle, sometimes cut at its end. It is the alchemical symbol of the Earth as an element, but it is also the symbol of Gaia, the Earth-Mother of the Gods. The nested triangles symbolize relief, the earth's depth, and the jewel in the center represents the heart of the planet; the other small lateral triangles are the mountains.
Wearing the tellurian fibula is therefore a connection to Mother Earth, a reminder of origins, the proclamation of this sacred link between Libyan women and their protective and nourishing Goddess from whom they seek help and then comfort throughout their primary existence.
