[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9875974, member: 2844"]Thank you, it is what I thought.:) It is a small Moroccan Amazigh (Berber) "shams o qamar" bracelet, a 'sun and moon' bracelet. 'Sun and moon' bracelets usually have alternating gold and silver motifs, but some are all silver. Many of them are said to have been made in in the royal city of Fez, often by Berber Jewish silversmiths. It could be 19th century, depending on the marks. Unfortunately not, because many old marks used in Morocco are round or close to round. When you look at them though a loupe, do you see concentric rings, with the outer ring having squiggles or dots? Ditto. It will look much happier. Don't overdo it though, it is nice to see some contrast.[/QUOTE]
