  • beautiful pendants and beads, and love the warm color combination.

  • This is such a powerful piece. I love the silver beads and pendant.

  • Like Ingrid I love the colours and I am also a fan of these superb cube shaped and enamelled silver beads! A great piece.

  • interesting and beautiful piece. congrats aala.

     agree with the origine. if the beads in the top were also square, could be only from djerba. the round beads make it possibly from the coast as Aala mentionned.

    this beads are rare to see, specialy the ones with circles inside. i saw few pieces only and saw some semilar in the area south aures, souf,biskra until north Hoggar ( illizi region )
