<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 9449586, member: 2844&quot;]It is a Provençal fibula, I have a few as well, I love them.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> They are no longer worn, my guess is they are second half of the 19th-early 20th. The &#039;stones&#039; are usually glass.</p><p><br /></p><p>Halfway down this page:</p><p><a href="https://www.bijouxregionaux.fr/en/contenu.php?idcontenu=14" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.bijouxregionaux.fr/en/contenu.php?idcontenu=14" rel="nofollow">https://www.bijouxregionaux.fr/en/contenu.php?idcontenu=14</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The term pennanular refers to the shape, the term fibula refers to the purpose. Fibula is generally used when speaking of ethnic/regional jewellery.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some people say these fibulae are North African (also French marks). It could be that they are made on both sides of the Med, the north shore and south shore aren&#039;t that far apart, and there has been cultural interaction for as long as the Med exists.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
