[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 2057314, member: 2844"]Doesn't strike me as North African. They love silver and gold filigree and repoussé, beautiful enamels, anything nicely (overly?) decorated. Blue and red, whether as glass or real stones, is found a lot in Central Asia and the Himalayas, including the southside of the Himalayas. Given that it is brass and looks like 'just' costume, made for a certain fashion with no real link to tradition, I would say India is a good candidate. Ethnic jewellery is often an investment. Brass jewellery can be pretty, but you can't sell it for melt value if you need money.[/QUOTE]
