Lovely and unusual, it almost looks Kabyle in design.
When I had purchased this in Sicily and worn it to Morocco, someone said that it looked Islamic and was valuable even back in the 70's. I'm not sure really where it is from . I purchased it in Italy but it also doesn't mean entirely that it is from that region. They do use alot of Coral down south and much of the over lay of culture is Islamic so in fact it might be from that region but looking like it comes from Algeria or Morocco. Some of the jewelers might have been. I don't know much about Sicilian jewelry or have not read much about it.
