Thank you Abe, glad you enjoyed it. Yours are fantastic! Not all from Morocco though.

The wonderful couple on the left with heavy coral inlay are not from Morocco, but from N-Algeria, from the Grande Kabylie. Typical for that area are brooches, fibulae and bracelets with lots of coral. They are close to the source of the coral, the Mediterranean Sea.
I don't know any Moroccan fibulae with such heavy inlay, at the most a bead or cabochon.
If interested I can look up some bibliography for you.
