Gorgeous!! Do you think the pearls on mine are Basra? (I would've never imagined they were rare; I thought they were simple freshwater baroque pearls)
I was going off memory and took another look at the hallmarks--there's one in a small circle, and another in a diamond shape, but I can't make out...
Oof, I don't know why I called them prayer beads in my post--I'm used to seeing them described as prayer beads or tesbih online, and wasn't...
Love to learn this!! It'll help me narrow down my pieces further :)
In my mind, that circle clasp looks older than later pieces, based on the lack of the little tab that helps open it. That clasp looks like it...
Never heard of Eloxal until now!! Now I know what some mystery German pieces I own are :woot:
Love the quality of vintage and antique rugs!! I'm mainly interested in Persian, Kazakh, Turkish, and Morrocan rugs, but the two other art deco...

were you the one? sorry, it's been like 2 years lol :shy: (I've been meaning to post more on this forum, but my life's been crazy)
So, these are a few of my favorite pieces I've collected these last couple years. I bought the hamsa, which is marked for Morrocan silver, at a...
If I recall, I believe Any Jewelry collects these? But I don't know how to @ them.
Might just be me, but something about the geometric quality of the decoration makes me wonder if it might be Asian.

Been a while since I posted, but still collecting antiques. One of my fascinations these last couple years has been ancient beads. I recently...
