  • IS that the price tag 9000 tunisian dinars ?

  • Yup, 4000 euros!
  • There is a slight overpricing here but i think you get its value of diamonds....possibly worth it if diamonds are of good quality and they must be genuine one far from the treated "often forged" contemporary ones!

    Enjoy your jewelry hunting and Keep up posting your finds please :-)

  • Splendid piece.usualy,rubis,emerald and sphires are added to the diamonds

  • One needs to bring a diamond tester with them, they work and are not expensive. They are battery operated and the size of a pen. This is nice but is that price in Euros?

  • Usually the diamonds are of poor quality, but the presence of these diamonds does indicate some age to these pieces. The dealers do have diamond testers, we did not. The difference between this one and the others was the size and the number of diamonds. Also, pieces of this size and quality are rare in the souqs.
