Lovely ebay find, usually don't see this on ebay site, I believe it is from Algeria but I may be wrong. What do you think?

I second AIT, he said it all
The calligrahy is made by the bold lines (wires) on every other pyramid
Vintage fantasie in silver. I'd guess from Algeria too.
That is interesting, Ait. I know about the calligraphy bracelets but did not see the calligraphy on this one. Can you pinpoint it to a specific country or region of North Africa?
It is western production during the french colonie time in northafrica, mostly local samples with a litle changing and adding of feligree caligraphie of names of coutries
Usualy we find: maghrib, tunis and aldjazair in arabic
Between 1920 art deco until 1960, later on it continues but much less
There is actualy last months a quatity of this bracelets in the net
I have never seen such here in Morocco( at least in South Morocco)
