Bedouin women wear all kinds of jewelry. The special necklace they wear around their necks is a metal chain with coins and bells hanging on it, which is both a protection and a blessing. Many coins on the necklace can be traced back to the Middle Ages and even Roman times. They also have their ears pierced and wear silver or gold earrings. Before a Bedouin woman gets married, her fiance will give her beautiful jewels as an oath to take care of her life.
