Из-за своего веса и толщины, серьги не продеваются в уши, берберские женщины носят их как височные подвески, закрепляя центральный крючок в прическе на голове, и пропуская цепочки через волосы, так, что серьги свободно висят по бокам головы, или прикрепляются дополнительными крючками к платку [7].

Due to their weight and thickness, the earrings do not fit into the ears, Berber women wear them as temporal pendants, fixing the central hook in the hairstyle on the head, and passing the chains through the hair, so that the earrings hang freely on the sides of the head, or are attached with additional hooks to the scarf [7].
