[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9492044, member: 2844"]It was made for the tourist trade. The Kabyle have been making souvenir jewellery since the late 19th century.

Kabyle enamel is usually made with more attention to things like that, but it still has those wonderful colours, especially that amazing Kabyle blue. The coral is Mediterranean red coral, probably imported from nearby Italy.[/QUOTE]
