Sas prendas, the jewels of Sardinia

If one speaks of traditional Sardinian dress, one cannot fail to mention jewellery. True accessories of the garment, they are not limited to a mere ornamental function but take on roles of necessity; they become functional complements such as buttons, zips, belts.

In Sardinian handicraft jewellery, the most historically used material is silver. Embellished with semi-precious stones, corals, turquoise and obsidian, worked in filigree, it was available on the island from ancient times. Filigree silver jewellery and buckles have been found in archaeological sites all over Sardinia.
