are these sort of "amulets/rings" big enough to be worn as rings ????????
These are hairrings, usually they are too big to be worn as rings.
Marianne. ces bagues sont surtout utilisées dans les regions chaudes de l afrique du nord et ouest. sud maroc,algerie,maritanie,sahara occidentale,mali,niger..
on met dedans de la laine imbibée du parfum et on prorte : soit comme pendentif
soit acrochés aux meches de cheveux
yes, I knew they are hairrings .... for this thought they were too little as rings :-) .... and as I like bold & huge jewels, the finger would not enter in the "ring" part ? .... ;-) MERCI à Patricia Deany & Ait Ouakli!:-)
Marianne I have one I wear myself as fingerring, if you are lucky you can find one, not all of them are huge. Sold my last smaller size just a month ago....
