Assorted Cultured Pearl Stud Earring Pair Collection Appraisal

Assorted Cultured Pearl Stud Earring Pair Collection

This item is a presentation box containing twelve individual cultured pearls, likely intended for use as stud earrings. The pearls are arranged in a grid of three rows and four columns, with each pearl appearing to be approximately 8-10mm in diameter, suggesting a wearable size for earrings. The pearls exhibit a range of naturalistic colors: a pair of golden-yellow, a pair of pale pink, a pair of light gray, a pair of slightly darker gray, a pair of light blue-green, a pair of chartreuse-green, another pair of golden-yellow, another pair of chartreuse-green, and a final pair of peachy-pink. This variety suggests they are either a collection of freshwater pearls or color-treated saltwater pearls, intended to offer diverse matching options. Each pearl appears to be drilled or prepared for earring posts on its flat back, though the posts themselves are not visible in the image. The pearls display a moderately high luster and a generally smooth surface, suggesting a good quality nacre. No significant blemishes or growth marks are discernible from the image's resolution. The pearls are nested within individual black velvet or felt inserts within a red, rectangular presentation box, which appears to be made of cardboard or a similar rigid material. The interior lining is black, while the exterior of the box is a vibrant red. A small white card, possibly a 'Warranty' or authenticity certificate, is partially visible in the upper left corner of the image, indicating their potential origin from a reputable jewelry vendor. The overall condition of the pearls appears excellent, with no visible scratches, chips, or damage. The presentation box also appears to be in good condition, suitable for retail display or gifting. The arrangement and variety suggest a modern production, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century.
