At first sight it does not look Berber to me, but the silver details might give us a clue -or not.
To me such combination of pearls and Coral brings me to Ladakh and Tibet.
They are very pretty.

You're right Martine, this can be from Tibet or Mongolie or elsewhere

It's a shape of kind of snail and 3mm large, maybe you'll recognize...

It is a mango, perhaps the earrings are from somewhere in India.

Yes India for sure, and likely for the Ladakhi market.

Not exactly the same, but pearls, turquoise and coral are regulars.

Perhaps for the Indian domestic market of so many inmigrant Tibetans.

Two great photos! And the earrings look even more impressive, seeing these variations. Sooooooo much turquoise--yum!

Thank you for showing them ! Though a white background with natural light would be great....

I've never owned pearls - but acquired these yesterday.
I've not yet been able to figure out what to even call them with the flat shape and all. They are combined here with nice old turquoise beads and 18k gold clasp and spacers.
Scale is delicate.

Contemporary Chinese freshwater pearls.

Linda, Your pretty Chinese pearl, turquoise and gold necklace reminds me of the many classic necklace designs which were popular in the Hong Xiao Pearl Market, Beijing, between 2001 and 2009. I have not been back since then. But I have heard the Pearl market is nearly the same as it was when I went. -But more competition in the surrounding area.

Thank you Fred. Do you if there is a name for this shape?

I believe they are called freshwater "button pearls."

The nacre on them looks so good, on both sides of the 'button'.

Besides their taste, they are showing off their wealth and status.
