    Sarah where is Akka? Was it supposed to have enamel on? Great work and granulation.

    Akka is an oasis town in South Morocco, but also an ethnie in China- Thailand (mountain people). Knowing Sarah it must be a pendant from South Morocco. It is very beautiful by the way!!!!

    Yes Eva thios is from Akka in the south of Morocco, below the Anti Atlas region.

    Very bold styling is typicl of the jewels here.

    I love the very plain Hair shells in contrast to the bold niello and silver spikes!
