thank you Natalie. i like it too.
i got it from colector family , they bought it in marocco over 40 years ago and they had it as many other items in show cases . it was a bit broken and silver was oxydated. i changed all the threads keeping the original design,and cleaned the silver.
high silver the beads are stabil and wtrong, the feligree ones are also good quality.
the amber is old african , coral is mediterannee coral
Lovely color and balance, I too especially love the silver beads.
Thank you patti
since few months , the subject beads in northafrica is occupating me a lot. i m puting together all what i have and asking friends everywhere to send me what they can colect for me or just fotos. it is amazing area full of surprises. i just have the feeling that i know just a little in the area and got also very interesting conclusions
The amber is exactly the amber I had collected from Ethiopia and Somalia. Very impressive and colorful piece.
Beautiful, Aït!!
What an eye-catcher! I especially love the silver beads. I'm not familiar with Moroccan jewellery, but these beads look rather unusual. Great find!
ingrid,akkie,toya and jose thank you
you all like the beads, yes they are unusual and beautiful. i actualy did not pay so much attention to them. i was looking at since i m interested to all northafricans beads and more after i saw your comments about.

Ait this is seriously staggeringly beautiful, well designed and what can one say, but it is to die for.
