AFRICAN JEWELS


The charm of these men in blue in Western society!
Since the dawn of time, these kings of the desert and masters of fire, forge the most precious metals in the burning sand warmed by a merciless sun.

Our Touareg jeweler will introduce you to the different traditional techniques, guiding you to the creation of silver jewelry.

You will intervene directly on metal, forging, cutting, filing, engraving, and hammering the silver on steel punches, so that you will be able to realize your ornamental fantasies.

You will rediscover the lost-wax technique, already used by a few thousand years, and so you will create a ring cast in a mold of clay, or a forged necklace, or an ornament on a bracelet, at your choice.
Of course all will be made with your own hands.

In addition to acquiring methods and manual experience, you will take with you your wonderful creations, and the African "savoir-faire et savoir-vivre"  experienced during your internship.
