Dear Bianca; this is beautiful and yes, either Jordanian or maybe even Palestinian (the borders were much more loose in older time. This piece has a lot of Yemeni features, which is typical for certain Jordanian jewelry. The end pieces are typical for Palestinian jewelry design. The individual pieces were brought out of the Yemen and Saudi Arabia during pilgrimages to Mecca and Medinah, collected over a period of time and then composed in beautiful necklaces or sewn onto face veils, etc.. A typical Bedouin piece: I love it! With kind regards. Peter
