    I love these. Are they new production, they look very fresh and colorful. I see that have that special blue color that I love ( the light blue) Usually that means they are vintage.

    Not only new but this is the kinf of jewelery that is meant to be sold as glorious antiques and prices accordingly.

     

    Another clue for those chasing copies is to stay away from any coral cabachons on berber jewelry, unless be sure that it is a genuine kabyle piece.......coral have never ever been used in cabachons in Morocco bar some very very rare examples on some rif fibulas turtles!

    These were not in my opinion of great age.

    Very interesting to read the opinions for these, especially Ayis`regarding coral cabochons. I had no idea, good to learn! But after all, they do look nice!!!

    This is a far more 'caustic'  blue than the pre 1930 glass which was used to make cloisoinne.
