Is Tribal Jewelry Right for You?
Jewelry has an undeniably positive affect on a woman. When she slips on the right bracelet, necklace, or set of earrings, her attitude subtly changes to reveal more confidence and self-appreciation. That is why jewelry selection is so important. Jewelry not only says a lot about a women; it says says a lot for a woman.
Why Choose Tribal Jewelry?
Tribal jewelry is fast becoming the first choice for women who want to make a visual statement. There are so many variations of patterns, styles, and materials, that it typifies fashion flexibility. Are you going to an elegant Christmas or New Year's Day holiday affair? Then add pizazz to your classic little black dress with a tribal necklace composed of dozens of brightly-colored twists. Going to an afternoon, outside wedding? Be careful not to upstage the bride and her bridesmaids with your perfectly matching tribal earring and necklace set made of wire mesh and colorful falling glass beads. Enjoying a night out on the town with dancing and dining? Add a sexy tribal belly belt to drape around your party outfit that moves when you move. Going to a long-awaited graduation ceremony? Show your serious side with a quietly sophisticated piece of tribal jewelry such as dark bone bangles accented with ivory and brass.
Tribal Jewelry's History
This special jewelry has a a history that literally spans hundreds of years and several countries. In Africa and India, native craftsmen first created adornments just made of the natural materials on hand. It was the Egyptians who are credited with first utilizing a full array of materials to construct their beads and jewelry. Along the Nile River, 4500 years ago, gold was originally the favorite material for jewelry making. However, as the art progressed, different materials also became very popular. Amazingly, Egyptians often favored the use of glass to express color as opposed to actual gems because of their versatility.
Tribal Jewelry Meanings
In African culture, tribal jewelry assumed a variety of meanings. Aside from simple adornment, the type of jewelry worn indicated a person's status, the level of wealth, and spiritual beliefs. At one time, a bride in a Ghanian tribe would receive a beaded belt from her new husband as a wedding gift that put everyone on notice that she was, from henceforth, a married woman. Tribal jewelry also played a part in local superstitions. For example, wearing bracelets made from elephant or giraffe hair supposedly protected its wearer from harm and sickness.
Tribal Jewelry Trends Today
Far from those villages, tribal jewelry is continually growing in popularity. Hollywood fashionistas such as Jennifer Lopez, Kim Kardashian, and Nicole Ritchie have been spotted on the red carpet highlighting the look. Respected designers Marc Jacobs and Diane Furstenberg have wowed the fashion elite by sending their models down the runway in funky, chunky tribal jewelry. The look has even made its way to the White House. A close look at the jewelry worn by First Lady Michelle Obama reveals her affection for accessories inspired by tribal jewelry. She particularly likes the look of multiple bangles and necklaces made of colorful beads. Since Mrs. Obama is a mainstay of the international best dressed lists, you are safe to follow in her stylish footsteps and add tribal jewelry to your collection. The best part is that you can adopt this fashionable and popular look at a very affordable price.

Who can suggest me: 1) a good belly dance teacher in NY 2) some belly dance dresses shops in NY?
I'm an italian belly dancer and i'm going to spend some days in NY on next december. I would be happy to take some lessons with the most interesting teachers of raqs sharky and tribal belly dance as weel and visit dedicated shops (in Italy most of the dresses are really small...maybe you have something larger...!!) . I've know about Morocco, anyone knows her?
My dance instructor has taken classes and workshops with Morocco. She loves Morocco and how she teaches. I have heard only wonderful things about Morocco.
You can look on a couple of great websites for other teachers.
Shira's website

I recently took a workshop with Darshan. It was wonderful.

I am very fortunate that I am fairly close to Scheherezade in Richmond, Virginia so I get my supplies there. Since I am not in New York I don't know about belly dance shops there. Perhaps you could contact a teacher on the above websites and ask them about local belly dance shops.
Good luck. I hope you have a wonderful time in NY.
