Tuareg 2

I assume this (and the bracelet on the following picture) are a contemporary Tuareg pieces? Both are quite heavy (ca. 80 and 90grams) and made of metal alloy (perhaps containing a little silver).Can anyone tell me more about this style of bracelet, please?

the pattern is Tuareg, especially the middle part is typical. But I cannot tell you from which Country this is. I am sure someone else can. Very nice!

Beautiful shaped cuffs, so elegant and the artistic engravings amazes me every time of the Tuareg jewelry.

Contemporary from Niger I'd say. Forum member Ait Ouakli would be the best person to comment on this, but like everyone here I too think it's a beautiful piece. I love the geometricity of Tuareg pieces - very modern, timeless in fact.

Thank you everyone. They are both lucky finds, no silver, but great workmanship and very solid.
