  • wow, this is fantastic. selsela means "chaine"

    nice piece, all handwork

  • Thank you Chantal and Ait. I am starting to really like Tunisian jewelry.

  • Also there a lot of ottoman patterns remaining.............If you dont have it already, have you read "Bijoux Tunisiens, formes et symboles" de Clemence Sugier? Its cheap and small but it has some really nice pics.

  • I have not read that book. Will look for it. Thank you.
