Mariya — Bahraini Gold Necklaces
The mariya is a necklace that wraps the neck and rests on the collarbone, and one of the most present pieces in Emirati taste. Its heritage forms are many — Um Shnaf, Um Al Safayeh, Um Al Thawari, Habbat Al Hail, Um Al Mashakhes — each name describing the shape of the beads or drops.
The chosen length rests on the collarbone — the position that suits most necklines.

It is a style of mariya whose beads are shaped like cardamom pods — one of the oldest mariya forms in the UAE.
