The Tuareg call these jewelry " teneghelt " which alludes to the production process with lost wax in an earthen mold.
The interpretations of this jewelry are varied. It could represent the four cardinal points or the " Southern Cross " constellation, the cross on the camel's saddles or a love message ; love is pronounced T(o)R(a) in Tamacheck, illustrated by the symbols " O " and " + ".
Maybe it could even be representing all these symbols at once...!
