Why is gold important to people of the Gulf region?
Answers
Answer:
Gold was one of the most precious and valuable jewellery accessories for women of this region for thousands of years – and still is. People even made gold bridles for horses that you can still see in historical museums in Sharjah.
Gold was associated with magnificence and pride of the people who owned it. In Islam, gold as embellishment wasn’t allowed for men – only women had the right to wear it.
One of the interesting pieces of gold jewellery for women in this region is the tassa (which translates to “saucer”), a head cover with long strips that have hundreds of gold coin-shaped pieces attached. This garment is found only here. A girl would wear it on her head during different festivals and Eid celebrations, and a bride could also wear it on her traditional wedding henna night.
Even today, we value gold and buy it for our women as much as we can.
