Agadez Cross
Ancestral know-how in the heart of the desert
The Tuareg, also known as Kel Tamajeq , live between Niger, Mali, Algeria, Libya and Burkina Faso. Their art of jewelry is recognized worldwide for its finesse, symbolism and authenticity .
Each piece of jewelry carries:
- of identity ,
- of spiritual protection ,
- and social values passed down from generation to generation.
The famous Southern Cross (Agadez Cross) is an example: passed down from father to son, it symbolizes virility, the four directions of the world and the destiny of the nomad.
A matriarchal society and artisans who are guardians of tradition
A rare occurrence in Africa, Tuareg society is matriarchal . Women, heirs to the legendary Queen Tin Hinan , hold social power and pass on traditions.
Jewelry plays a central role:
- women wear silver as the only noble metal (gold being avoided),
- each piece of jewelry tells the story of a family or a village,
- The craftsmen, called Inaden , shape metal, leather and wood, perpetuating a thousand-year-old know-how.

At Ledoux Store , each ring, cuff or earring tells the story of a people, but also that of a craftsman who continues to keep this tradition alive.
