The discs are delicate silver dangles ("pendeloques") accented with orange-red beads (characteristic of Mediterranean Coral/High-quality resin traditionally used in the region).

This jewelry style is believed to have been influenced by Andalusian silversmiths who fled Spain for North Africa in the 15th century, bringing their refined enameling techniques with them. Today, the village of Beni Yenni in the Kabylie mountains remains the world-famous center for this specific craft.

The Shape of earrings feature a floral or solar central disc with "pendeloques" (dangling charms). These dangles are designed to make a soft jingling sound as you move, which was traditionally thought to ward off the "evil eye."
