    hello it is not tunisian but from kabilie in Algeria it is beautifull and perhaps not old

    I also believe that this is a tiznit piece. I believe it to come from the workshops next to the source bleu. Once a sacred place now not so beautiful.. I have seen this type of work from there . The quality and colour of the enamelling say 1980s to me. Always tricky without handling the piece...!

    This reminds me of older Taroudant work in metal.  I've seen and held in hand Kabyle work in metal- Chantal knows what I mean- and it had a different look.   But one never knows!

    if it was tunisian, will be smaller with more green.

    tiznit is a possibility too, even rather. the was the arabic " waw ", half S is fixed together is typical tiznit.

    there is some smith apprentice trying out and do not use the coral. this piece could be one of the results.

    i find the price a bit high without making the jewel , the shop or the seller bad. it is just my opinion for a piece without a strong background, no mediterannee coral and vintage.

    this piece could be until 30 years old. more will surprise me

    not very convinced by this bracelet

    it seems very odd

    no kabyles are to be found in tunisia neither in morocco

    a tiznit copy??? needs confirmation

    i dont think it is old either

    Ait, the price is 1,400 dollars which is probably about 1000 euros -- but there is negotiation possible. As I said, I don't want to buy it, just interested in the origin since I did not know that Kabyle people lived in Tunisia and was not sure of it's authenticity. Do you think it is antique or vintage?

  • ait ouakli January 1, 2013 at 1:47pm

    i can imagine that this piece is over 500 euro.

    the prices now in Kabylie for 1 gr new jewelry is around 2,5 euros

  • ait ouakli January 1, 2013 at 1:43pm

    it is a genuine piece. old piece handmade . if 100 % tunisia i m not sure could be Algeria kabylie fom Isser

    Not trying to question the integrity of the dealer, just trying to get a little more information about this item--not for purchase ( it is very expensive) but for knowledge. I would be interested to know, for example, if Kabyle people also inhabit parts of Tunisia and not just Algeria. I love the wirework on this item, is this kind of wirework typical of Kabyle work? Anyway, a discussion just for the fun of it.
