I am not an expert on this topic, and the facts I have posted have been gained through my personal experience in art and design (as well a reading lots of W magazine), so when Blackamoor was moved to "Maure," I merely assumed whoever did so, knew more about it than I did. However, after a little more investigation I can find no instance where the jewelry or figurines I describe are referred to as "Maure." So, I ask your advice. Should I move to have Blackamoor returned to its own entry, Blackamoor (jewelry)? What is really needed is an expert in the field to tell us what to do. Lacking that, I've only been able to say what isn't right (when is not constructive). -- Jhlynes 00:39, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
I'm goldsmith and knowlegable but not expert on jewelry history. IMO this is a fine little article in just the right place. Blackamoor is a jewelry form and righfully so. Again, IMO Jjdon ( talk) 01:32, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

"usually African males but sometimes other non-European races" - considering there are no races of modern humans, and considering that people of African and Asian phenotypes have been moving to what we call Europe since 50,000 years ago, this phrase seems confusing and out of date. Just to add, African haplogroups are part of the European genetic landscape, most recently being the East African E1b1b, especially in Southern Europe and North Africa. 83.84.100.133 ( talk) 05:40, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
It is not racist. Slavory was abolished in venise around 640 ad. They were slaves but the laws made people who had servents at this time it was a punishment for not being Christian. There were servents of all races. Blackamoor. Is a more recent term the white pendants with black onyx and precious and precious stones was worn to ward off pirates. This history predates african american. Which is not the correct term. Servants were actually given dowry to get married and join into society. The slave art depicted slaves in chains and beatings. This artform depicts woman and men aforned with golden robes and jewelry gold and precious stones. Some early Blackamoor jewerly and art shows black men and woman created by blacksmiths who had never even seen a black person but had heard stories of princes from egypt and africa. These pre 16 century pieces actually have very European features because they were made from imagionation. Pendants were not just worn to actualy ward off pirates but were worn to show status. You have to remember history. They were concord by the moors and had a moor king at one time. Please stop making things racist that are not. Even shakespear talked about black soldiers. People also immagrated to the Mediterranean of all races. These pieces of beautiful art are and have nothing to do with america. This is venician art. They are highly collectable. I was gifted a ring by my native american sister. Im irish by dna. Her mother full native. My son is mixed and i will gidt this to my little beautiful granddaughter one day. We want to make everything racist. The ring is a white semi previous stone qith black onux and adorned in diamonds. History needs to be out there correct. This is not racist. This was respectful. Blacks were not the only blackamoor art people depicted anyone of non European features was thought to be exotic and beautiful during this time . Vsbyrnea ( talk) 17:52, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
