Very beautiful skhab,it is a must have in weddings.
Is the ceramic yours ? Looks from Algiers casbah
I like it a lot
Fabulous! Amazing filigree work which is set off beautifully against the dark skhab beads. Do you know how old it is approximately?
@ Betty. Thanks. It is a contemporary necklace.
@ Ait Ouakli. Thanks . Yes ceramic tiles are mine. I know Algiers Casbah well. Nice old ceramic tiles at Musée du Bardo in Algiers also.
thank you marie jose are they from casbah or reproduced ? they look actualy geuine. the blu one is " kronfel " sample giroflée in french, stock in english ??
i have 2 beautiful one, if i get good light tomorrow, i ll post you a foto from
yes musee du bardot, there is also beautiful samples in musée de l artisanat in the basse casbah. actualy all the casbah and constructions arround have beautiful old pieces, umtil 750 years old. all the old mosques have amazing ones
Ait Ouakli,the tiles are all genuine , not from the Casbah. I add two pictures from Algiers.
Love those scented beads! Wonderful combination with silver. Beauty!
I thought "kronfel" was clove in North African dialect.
I have a couple of these necklaces -- the fragrance beads, not the filigree. Are the filigree beads contemporary as well?
Ethni embellissements: yes kronfel is clove,my translation was bad. If you google kronfel, you will get some ceramic like the maries one
