An intriguing find, this flared bracelet was most likely made in Algeria. Probably in the early decades of the Twentieth Century at the height of French colonial rule in North Africa. The cuff is made with definite nods to the Kabyle jewelry of the Ouled Nail. There are echoes of this particular tribe's defensive bracelets which have the characteristic square-ish studs. This bracelet however, was not made for the Ouled Nail women, rather embellished by local silversmiths to cater for French taste. Made of silver and decorated with chasing details even on the studs. The bracelet's center is decorated with a small coral cabochon. Note: small part of the border needs to be resoldered. Anteeka offers one of a kind, vintage jewelry from around the world.These are authentic vintage and antique pieces that may bear some light imperfections, which we find, only add to their charm!
