Honora Sterling Silver Black Crystal Pave and Gray Pearl Double-Sided Stud Earrings

This is a pair of Honora sterling silver double-sided stud earrings, each featuring a large front sphere adorned with black crystal pave and a smaller gray pearl acting as the backing. The front sphere of each earring measures approximately 12-15mm in diameter (estimated from image), with the entirety of its surface covered in closely set, small, faceted black crystals, creating a glittering, textured effect. The metal setting for these crystals appears to be a dark-toned silver, possibly rhodium-plated sterling silver, to complement the black crystals. The back component of each earring is a spherical, lustrous gray pearl, approximately 6-8mm in diameter, exhibiting a smooth surface and a soft, iridescent sheen with subtle overtones. The two components are connected by a visible silver-toned post, indicating a design where the pearl portion would sit behind the earlobe and the crystal pave ball in front, creating a fashionable 'front back' earring style. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with the crystals securely set and the pearls exhibiting a consistent shape and luster. The earrings are in good visible condition with no obvious chips, cracks, or missing crystals, and the pearls show no significant blemishes. The design suggests a contemporary style, likely from the early 21st century, aligning with the modern trend of double-sided earrings.
