Kabyle silver cuffs detail1

Posted by Savanna Caravan on July 19, 2014 at 2:24am
Almost matched pair of Algerian Kabyle heavy silver cuffs - together weigh 680gm. Very slight variation in size .. more of an optical illusion. Original enamel and coral. Found in Fez. Only repair is replacement of the pins, done by Faouzy on request.

    Splendid pieces , congrats. They are now very difficult to get

    They are all hand made,the decorationis splendid,the punshes used for making the paterns are rare

    The pins look not silver, i advice you to go to any smith and aske him to remplce them with silver ones, one has to bein round form in the top

    If it is difficult for you, tell me the lenght and thikness, i make you some

    Thankyou Ait,  for your generous offer The pins have already been replaced - by Faouzy, who did indeed make the "new" ones with a rounded top.   How old would you estimate these to be? I read that the earlier pieces had less enamel.  I'm a complete Kabyle novice although I'm in love with the style.  I love to find an enamelled necklace. I'm not averse to selling these cuffs!
