More detailed pictures of this bracelet on sale in my ebay page here
So these are Algerian.. ? I have these in some of my books as Mauritanian or Morocco? I only have one book on Algerian and these are not in there but I think I found them in one of my Morocco books.. where is your ebay web sight, how to find it? !
Well these are 100% sure from south west Algeria, obviouslyold jewish workmanship which was common in shapes and partly in techniques with the very scarce south moroccan enameled ones
here is my ebay page

Your page is nice , you have good things for ebay.. I never really went looking in other countries.. ebay here and what comes up is so commercial by comparison and all alike. I rarely see good old things like what you have except by mistake or fluke. Also here at least ,, in US things that are good but more expensive seem not to sell at all. I never tried that way because I saw the trends in this country. maybe ok for things that are a few hundred to 1,000 at most if some one is serious. It is a shame really since other things sell for loads of money on ebay.. I think not enough people can distinguish why it is that one should pay more and or willing to pay more, ie afford to pay more,, so many reasons. It is true some times we all get lucky but it is fewer and farther between,, that happens.. Does the sight work for you selling this good material this way? The quran boxes are nice.

I can`t get anything on your eBay page link, Ayis. Have you sold it all? I had no idea that it`s you who is "tingitane"! But I`ve always thought tingitane showed by far the best N. African items in the whole of eBay.
