Is this a fingerring or a bracelet? (Sorry, my mother tongue is not English, I do not know if the expression band is a bracelet or a fingerring). It looks very nice, I have never seen this kind, but would tend to see it as a fingerring..
A nice one Linda! I do like these "hairrings" you can wear them on a cord if you want.
nice sample on this hairring. for sue a side one. yes it is worn as pendant too. i like it
ok, I read in the comments, it is a hairring or pendant... I have some similar ones, but this one has nicer decorations.
@Thanks Ait Ouakli for the beautiful photos to illustrate these rings.
yes it is worn on the finger and maybe sometimes in the hair? I purchased it as a ring. it was my own for years and has a nice patina.
@Thank you, Linda, for the comment. I have also seen the photos of Ait Ouakli below, which illustrates how it is being worn also on the head. Yes, it is a beautiful, special one.
Nice photos. Where are these woman from? Morocco ? The mixtures of jewelry that are worn is confusing to me.
the 4 touareg ladies are from hoggar region in Algeria. the one allone is from the region between ainguezam ( south Algeria ) until Agadez in Niger.
