Edith from where are your jewels
This was purchased in Tunis...worn in western Tunisia and Algeria.
Very nice!!!
Thanks! A few old photographs taken by Jean Geiser (1848-1923) in his Algiers studio include portraits of women wearing this piece of jewelry.
Hi Edith,
I have Jean Geiser book of photos , great pics and great read.
Bet these are less expensive tha the Algerian ones? Very difficult to find the Algerian ones complete.
we find them in the aures mountains almost identic . few kilometers to tunisia border.it was one and the same region . from there until algier and some 300 km west.
in the oasis region too. mostly without the chains
I looked for a while to find matching pair, but I purchased them for the reasonable price of 2.5TD per gram...a middling price by my standards. One usually needs to pay a bit more for a matching pair.
sorry but now,i do not know how much is the TD in euro
Neither do I know what it is in Pouds!.............
I think that currently 1 Euro is about 2TD (maybe slightly less). So 2.5TD would be about 1.25Euro per gram. I am also still getting some silver at the old price of 1.5TD, but I think it is because the dealers know me for a long time.
