Featured Silver and enamel jewellery id

I've noticed a few pieces of this style of jewellery going through local auction houses recently. Usually unmarked or stamped 925, the colours are mostly primary or bold tones. It's not something I have come across before but I'm sure someone will know what it's called/where its from. They don't seem to fetch much but I like the style.

 

Morocco, Berber, Algerian but I think yours shown perhaps more modern. @Any Jewelry

 

That was quick, thank you and it looks very much like it. The pic is from a local auction house. There seems to have been a few pieces like it going through in the last few weeks and I didn't recognise it. I doubt it is very old, probably vintage at best, it just caught my attention, may try and buy a couple of pieces as I like the style.

 

The style is typical of Kabyle Berber jewellery from Algeria, one of my favourite jewellery styles.
Somewhat similar jewellery is made in Morocco, but Kabyle jewellery is the bees knees when it comes to enamel.

That depends on the age, whether they are traditionals or souvenirs, and whether they are true Kabyle or Moroccan. The Moroccans also make repros of Kabyle jewellery.

I'll take a pic of two of my necklaces so you can see the difference between Kabyle and Moroccan. Grabbing my camera now.

 

Ca 1950s Tizi Ouzou Kabyle wedding necklace, with natural Med red coral, no marks:



Moroccan, with dyed coral, the links are slightly more basic, no marks, so before the use of the 925 mark:




Older Kabyle, the yellow and green are more subdued. Made by the Beni Yenni Kabyle, the best makers.
Every single element is marked and the medallion is marked in several places. Old marks and French style lozenge shaped maker's marks, eleven marks in total. No 925 mark in sight.
This is where collectors start to get interested and bidding goes up:



If you come across a piece like this in your local auction house, check for those tiny marks, usually on the front of the piece, and start bidding. Most other bidders won't have a clue, and you will be able to sell it to a connoiseur.

 

Many thanks, that was very kind of you. I didn't get to see the item in person as there still isn't any viewing allowed in the uk, I think it most looks like the first image in your post, quite surprised it may be as old as mid-century. I don't really do much ethnic jewellery, mostly standard gold and gemstone stuff and a bit of silver but this caught my attention.

It was in a group lot with some unrelated silver brooches and some Taiwanese style filigree pieces, only fetched £40 for the lot, should had bought it! When we are allowed to view again I'll keep an eye out and have a close look.

 

It was worth it. When I opened the box, the first thing I saw was a pair of Tunisian silver calligraphy style earrings I forgot I even had. I am wearing them now.

Forgot to say, those crescent moon necklaces are Tizi Ouzou Kabyle wedding necklaces. I added it to the earlier post.
