beautiful old Kabyle necklace from bni yenni, silber ,enamel , mediteranean coral and old french silver coin 1907 until 1895
This is lovely, with a nice mix of different pendant styles.
Beautiful necklace ait!
That's a really beautiful piece, Ait! I like it a lot. The focal pendant with the foxtail chains seems unusual. It reminds me of some Greek/Turkish jewellery.
lovely piece Ait, and so wearable. The pendants look to me also of top pieces. This is a necklace I take it?
The main necklace also looks so intrique and solid. Altogether a stylish piece can be worn by anybody,ethnic as well as the modern woman. Is it a free style , and the pendants Algerian?
Great!
Thank you all
Toya, nice that you like it
Ethnic adornment, for sure, this reminds you a lot
Ingrid, yes algerian and wearabl
Betty, you are right, the pendant is not typical northafrican, it is a french import sampl. It started arround 1920, there iscomplet necklaces made of,patty has a beautiful one
I''ve just uploades a pic of one of this necklaces made with french import pendants
I love this!, it has the light silver pieces combined with the coral pieces. Is this part of your collection? A recent purchase? Where did you find it?
Patty, i knew you like it :-)
i bought it recently, it was broken and some elements were missing. it was difficult to get what i needed to get it this way , specialy now that genuine kabyl jewelry is expensive
the pendants are midle size, the longer one is 3 cm, the coins are 1/2 french franc. they were more worn than the bigger ones.
tis one is for sale, i kept for me a fibel that i have to restaure too
