[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 384722, member: 2844"]That was one of my thoughts, I googled Mauritanian jewellery but couldn't find these. But you are absolutely right, Mauritanian. Mauritania often combines silver with ebony as well, so silver and black made me think of Mauritanian. Ebony and ebony lookalikes like dark resin are luxury materials in a desert country. A hook clasp is often a sign of ethnic jewellery. The way the hook is made, helps to narrow it down to a region.[/QUOTE]
