This reminds me very much of Tuareg work.

Hi, and I third you Hillary! I have a Tuareg trader I have bought from for 15 years, & purchased a few of these years ago. They have lovely little bell sounds when you move them. I love wearing mine but have a few to sell if anyone is interested. I have just joined but will add photos hopefully sometime soon ! Lynne

Dear Lynne Rouffa

You are perfectly right ... I bought a set of 10 rings when I was in Jaipur and the 9 others where from India for sure ...this proove that the jewels travel a lot and that it complicates sometimes the work ...

Best regards to the three of you
