Hello Joyce,
I understood you were trying to be nice. I know how hard it is to act against nature.

Though I might not have read all posts on that subject, I read about "age" regarding the "Nigerian pendant". Further was I assuming - wrongly? - that this side deals with pieces of ethnographic value and not with recently produced! pieces for the tourist trade!

Actually I am a BIG-BIG fan of JEWISH (not Berber!)enemal work in the legacy of Moroccan jewelry.

Sometimes even mass-made tourist-pieces - like those shown in this thread - can be nice and this ones here are surely not ugly. I never meant to say so. Instead it was my point to make clear Uwe´s pieces were new, not old. I didn´t say, nor meant, they are ugly! Collectibles, old pieces, authentic pieces, those with ethnographic relevance are a different issue though.
