This looks new and pristine. Any thoughts on if it is Moroccan or new Algerian production? Thanks!
Thanks Sarah. Here are a few more images.
Reasoning.
The enamelling is a fine quality, slightly more delicate in execution than recent Tiznit work, the chain in not a style I see in Moroccan pieces. The coral is complete pieces, with an almost accidental facetted aspect to the finish...Tiznit recently seem to go for a composite...
Happy to hear other ideas folks. Ayis?

nice piece preethi.
i guess Algeria. not the high mountains but the flat area. between isser until bedjaia
Thanks Ait and Sarah! This looks new to me - would that be right?
Nicely made! I think it is new work. The style is not right. This type of box you see at the chain of fibula pairs from Kabyle. But different chain, different pattern.
not older than the 1980. this kind of new jewelry started arround that time, it was a new push of the jewelry for dayly wear
Thanks very much for the input! Yes, this is a very wearable necklace and quite nicely done. Very interesting to see the modern-day adaptation of a traditional piece.
