Jewellery Talks: Omani amulet pendants

5.00

Jewellery Talk

Omani amulets where polished coral sits beside a bottle stopper, a thorn, or even a sliver of plastic — each amulet carefully set in silver or gold, treated with the same care as the finest Omani jewellery. What are they…?

In this short talk, you’ll see:
🔹 How and by whom these amulet pendants were worn
🔹 The surprising range of materials, both local and imported
🔹 What these objects reveal when seen in their cultural context

A remarkable collection of amulet pendants from Oman shows us how beauty, belief, and everyday life come together in unexpected ways. Worn by women, children, and woven into the fabric of regional traditions, these pendants tell stories not only of adornment, but also of protection, meaning, and cultural connection. Discover how everyday materials — from coral to flint to glass stoppers — were transformed into powerful jewellery that speaks across time and tradition.
