For centuries, jewelry in Omani and Islamic culture has been more than mere adornment—it has carried deep spiritual meaning, cultural heritage, and protective power. Among the most treasured pieces is the hirz or hezam, a Koran holder necklace that blends faith and artistry.
This 19th-century Omani hirz necklace, crafted from intricate filigree silver with gold-tone accents, is a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of Omani artisans. The rectangular pendant was designed to hold holy verses or protective scrolls, offering both divine protection and personal significance to its wearer. Its multi-strand chain and delicate dangles add movement and elegance, symbolizing the wearer’s connection to faith and tradition.
Beyond its spiritual role, the hirz necklace served as a family heirloom, passed down through generations as a symbol of blessing and protection. The filigree detailing, still well-preserved after centuries, speaks to the legacy of Omani silversmiths who mastered the delicate balance between ornamentation and sacred function.
Today, these historic amulets remain cherished for their cultural and religious importance, offering a glimpse into the spiritual traditions and artistic excellence of 19th-century Oman.
