Khamsa Jewelry
The Khamsa, a hand shaped amulet is a symbol of peace and protection in many cultures including Islam and Judaism. The word Khamsa means five in Arabic, for the five fingers on the hand of Muhammad’s daughter Fatima Zahra. Colorful, wooden Khamissa (plural) are often seen hanging next to the front door of a Moroccan home to ward off evil and bring ‘baraka’ and good energy to the home. Inspired by this ancient and universal representation of peace we designed our Holiday 2013 handcrafted jewelry around this symbol and you will find silver, wood, enameled, and vintage khamsa necklaces online and in our shops this season.

The Cleo Wood Collection
The Cleo Collection is made with reclaimed olive and walnut wood and was inspired by Berber etching and the henna designs of North Africa. Incorporating mixed metals and hand riveting, this collection is an original design by Mushmina’s creative director, Katie O’Neill. The Cleo Collection was a collaboration with Morocco’s Green Sahara Furniture, a sustainable company that produces collections using reclaimed wood from Morocco. http://www.greensaharafurniture.com/
