Dome Earrings Appraisal

Diamond Accent Filigree Dome Stud Earrings

This pair of stud earrings features a dome-shaped design crafted from a silvery-toned metal, described as non-magnetic and likely white gold or platinum based on the 'real diamonds' and 'non-magnetic' context, though an exact metal content cannot be determined from the image. Each earring is approximately 10-12mm in diameter, presenting a somewhat rounded, three-dimensional profile that protrudes from the earlobe. The surface of the dome is intricately decorated with a combination of filigree openwork and pave-set diamond accents. The filigree appears as flowing, curvilinear lines or scrollwork, interspersed with small, brilliant-cut diamonds that are clustered together, especially around the central and outer edges of the dome. These diamonds, as indicated, are natural and stated to be approximately one-eighth of a carat total weight per pair. The setting style gives the impression of a sparkling, textured surface. The earrings are equipped with standard post backs, visible extending from the rear of the domes, intended for pierced ears. The overall condition appears good, with no obvious signs of significant wear, damage, or repairs visible in the provided image. The metal exhibits an even, bright luster, and the diamonds appear clean and reflective. The design suggests a contemporary or classic style, suitable for everyday wear or semi-formal occasions. The acquisition from JCPenney, a major department store, suggests a mass-produced item rather than a custom-designed piece, but the use of real diamonds indicates a higher quality costume jewelry or fine jewelry piece.
