Thank you Peter, Betty and Ait for the kind comment. The main piece 'rounded' which sometimes referred to as 'Salha' is a very common component of the Libyan Jewellery. It is crafted in various sizes and has various motifs. It is also worn differently. Therefore I am sure that you have seen such thing somewhere else which has reminded you of this. Anyway these 'Salhas' are casted in clay and not being engraved by hand. Therefore it is very common to see them in similar size as well as style.
