Never seen so many in one collection! Lucky you. Beautiful!
wonderful collection!
verry beautiful. i say the same what harald wrote. it is the first time i see so many in one place. i wish you a verry good luck with selling. do not forget to keep some for you.
i love the leather pillow . Mauritania west algeria ??
These have been collected for about 8 years. We've had many, but I always try to keep the top pieces for our collection. The very small earrings are also more difficult to find than the larger ones, so I always save those. I have one small pair in my jewelry drawer that I have added ear wires to as I'm too conservative to stretch my ear holes to the gauge required to wear any of these. Notice the two types of knobs, these differing knobs are also found on elkis bracelets.
I actually cannot remember where we got the leather. It is not a pillow, but a panel that was once part of a pillow.
@ Ait- This is our collection, we have others that we sell, though not so many now as we have seen only a handful of the old tsabit earrings in the past several years. Old Tuareg items are becoming fewer and of inferior quality on the market now.
Do you also sell some of these?
Hi Harald, the pieces in this photo are our collection, but we do have others for sale. I'll try to put some on Vividvault soon.
I will have a look!
Do you know about that feeling of coveting what you see?. Well, that is how I feel seeing all these.
