The Antique Silver Palestinian - Syrian Bughma (Choker)
An antique silver Bughma choker, over 100 years old, traditionally worn across Palestine, Jordan, and Syria. This ceremonial piece features Ottoman silver coins and was worn by brides during wedding processions. The layered silver elements were intentionally designed to move and produce a soft, rhythmic sound, announcing the bride’s presence as she moved through the procession and marking her transition into married life.
The bughma reflected social status, family wealth, and community identity, and remains a powerful example of Levantine wedding jewelry.
The choker has 12 authentic antique Ottoman silver coins and an engraved amulet (hijab) with an Arabic inscription.
The choker opens and closes with an “S” latch closure.
We’re daydreaming about the woman who once wore this bughma. 🥲❤️
