    Very nice selection and diversity, which makes a very attractive necklace .

    Is it a new creation or something that local ladies make from loose elements as is the way elsewhere in north africa ?

    I bought from a silver antique shop, so  I only know that it is old but, I believe that it  was a collection of things assembled by the wearer at different times as there is no systematic  selection or pattern in the pendants. You may know more about this than I do.
