Tuareg Tassel Necklace

A Tscherot pendant, made by the Tuareg nomads of the Saharan desert, is said to be shaped like a person standing in the moonlight with arms crossed.  Although the Tscherot is typically considered a Tuareg man's jewelry, today women also wear this unusual pendant.

 

Tscherot is a powerful amulet that guarantees a safe journey for the wearer, made with Tuareg tribal symbols that include star patterns and constellations for navigation.
