Abstract


A traditional jewel worn by the women of the island of Ibiza —one of those worn hanging from the waistband—, the clauer appears as a key item in the island's Common Law regarding inheritance and the dowry. Notarial deeds reflect this, and reveal the several elements that enter into the jewel's composition. The author also delves into the clauer's special bearing on traditional clothing as well as on the wedding and its social and symbolic aspects. To the parallels of this cultural complex identified elsewhere in the Balearle Islands, the author adds others which attest its wide spread, and which suggest that it may date to as far back as the 13th century.
