Item Description

A gorgeous nest of beautifully burnished curved and curled silver wires with striking iridescence is aesthetically set on one end of the massive galena matrix on this outstanding piece from a recent find at the Imiter Mine of Morocco. The long, near loop is about 3.5 cm long, if straightened out. The dense tangle of the silver wires is a marvel to behold from all sides and the two small silver wire nests on the edges are a super accent. Fairly valued at $2500 and well worth it. If this was old German, you could add much more to the price and perhaps another zero...but contemporary Moroccan material is affordable and beautiful, for this style.
