Chantal. a mystery for you. what do you think about this piece ??
This one is very easy as I happen to have the same one....probably older and quite "green looking" looking more like an archeological find than a piece of jewelry! South Algeria/Aures? How old is yours (roughly)?
:-) verry nice, you got it. there is actualy bracelets with this form in all north africa.the difference is only in some details. marocco, mauritania have them. tunisia ,lybia until egypt have them too.
in Algeria, there is some in aures, ouled nail and the oasis, the saoura and the Hoggar .
this one is particulary from south Hoggar ( Tamanrasset ) recently, it is a part of wedding jewelry. they have them pairs, silversmith are not amused when they get order to make them. it take long time ti finish,
it is between 30 and 40 years. not 100 % sure
can you please post yours ??
Hello, Ait. Very nice piece. There is what seems to be a similar one, extremely worn though, on Marlene Ponce's website that is attributed to some place in South Algeria.
Here we are. Told you it looked very old!
Another technical advice needed please: some people manage to download only one picture....how is that done? Even if I download only one the 2 preceding pictures come back............Do you see what I mean?
thank you chantal. they are semilar. i know the person who did it personly. i ll send you his photo later on
jose. thank you for the tip. yes it is a good piece. it is low silver and looks that it was longtime exposed to the free air in the north and not in the south, many dealers do it in purpose to accelerate the oxydation of the metal and make it look older.
still, it is a good piece for a good price
chantal. i do not understand exactly. do you mean when you add a complet photo ? if it is the case, it is normal if you download in short time after the first ones, after some days , if you download one, you will have it allone
Right. I'll try that. But in the past even after a few days I think that I still had the previous photos coming back again........Will try what you suggest.Thanks.
