  All i know is what i coild read on the book "jewelry of libya".....

  These ornaments are great and very original. I had never seen any like those before And that about the piece of chalk very interesting. Actually, I have a Libyan headornament that looks like a massive ring. It is missing the bezel but now I think that it a piece of chalk may have well been used instead as otherwise the piece of glass would have to be real big.

  I see what you are talking about JOSE.

  The ring you bought, comes from the same city, the bezel contains chalk and is covered with red velvet fabric
