    very beautiful, I love the small pendants and the little snails between the corals.

    Those little "snail" shells also appear on Tunisian necklaces.  Are they snails or sea-shells?  Can anyone identify the species for me and the location of their habitat (i.e. are they North African or something procured by trade?)

    Edith,

    The shells may be of the striped nerite variety.  Here is a link to their entry on wikipedia.  The genealogical info is there, too.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodoxus_transversalis
