<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 306292, member: 2844&quot;]It is a souvenir bangle from the Maghreb (NW Africa), probably Tunisian. A copy of the local calligraphy bangles. The symbols are Arabic calligraphy.</p><p>It looks like it was silver plated, most of these are. The real ones are silver.</p><p>The Maghreb was French at one time, French is still used alongside Arabic and native Amazigh or Berber languages.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is just a guess: the pendant could be a floral symbol with four petals, which signifies Christian origin. Eight petals would signify Arab origin, eight combined with a star of David Jewish origin, and a Yaz symbol (&#039;free man&#039;) Amazigh/Berber origin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
