Avon Signature Collection Birthstone-Color Hoop Earrings - March

This item is a pair of Avon 'Signature Collection' hoop earrings, identified as 'Birthstone-Color Hoop Earrings' for 'March' based on the accompanying packaging. The earrings feature a silver-tone metal construction, likely a base metal alloy, formed into a semi-circular, curved hoop design. Each earring is adorned with an alternating pattern of five oval-cut, pale blue or aquamarine-colored stones, presumably glass or synthetic gems, and six small round, clear stones, which appear to be rhinestones or cubic zirconia, set within individual bezels or prongs. The blue stones are the dominant feature, providing the 'birthstone-color' aspect. The metalwork has a textured, slightly uneven finish, giving it a somewhat organic or handcrafted appearance, rather than a perfectly smooth, polished surface typical of fine jewelry. They are designed as post earrings, with a stud and butterfly clutch (not visible, but implied by the post) for securing them to the ear. The overall condition appears to be new or very lightly used, consistent with being presented in its original packaging. There are no obvious signs of significant wear, tarnish, or missing stones. The craftsmanship is typical of costume jewelry, focusing on aesthetic appeal rather than high material value. The packaging suggests an estimated age from the late 20th century to early 21st century, aligning with Avon's Signature Collection lines. The unique aspect is its direct association with a specific birth month, 'March', signifying the color aquamarine.
