His story:

In the Sahara, patterns and jewelry often have magical powers. For the Tuaregs, the Woodabés Peulhs, each small object attached to the body carries a meaning, a story, a force which protects them, gives them courage to face the desert.

I was inspired by these talismans to design the “Les Grigris” collection. This pendant takes the shape of a traditional Tuareg tanfouk. It is a small agate shape most often worn by women and which protects them from stomach aches. I hung a square talisman with an engraved hand and a round pastille with a star in it, a kori and glass beads. I hope that with all this it will bring you luck!
