siwa oasis
Jewelry from the Siwa oasis, in the northwest of Egypt, is distinctly different from the jewelry of other parts of Egypt. The Siwa jewelry is very Berber in nature and shares many similarities with jewelry from Libya, Tunisia, Algeria and even Morocco. Notably the similarities between jewelry from Libya and the Siwa oasis are very strong.
