Lindenwold's Fine Jewelers Black Earring in Packaging

This item is an individual black earring, presented within its original, clear plastic packaging from 'Lindenwold's Fine Jewelers'. The packaging is a molded, off-white translucent plastic card designed to hold a single earring securely. It features a hanging tab at the top, indicative of retail display. The brand name, 'Lindenwold's Fine Jewelers', is printed in an elegant black script font on the upper portion of the package, appearing somewhat faded or translucent due to the packaging material. Below the brand name, the words 'FINE JEWELERS' are printed in a smaller, sans-serif font. The main body of the packaging has a raised, textured, cross-hatched or diamond-patterned surface, providing some cushioning and visual interest. At the bottom of the package, the manufacturing origin 'MADE IN USA' is printed in black, sans-serif capital letters. The earring itself is a simple, circular, flat-backed stud design, approximately 1-1.5 cm in diameter. It is made of a dark, presumably black, material with a glossy finish that reflects light. The surface of the earring shows some minor surface scratches or dust specks, consistent with display or light handling. The overall condition of the packaging appears good, with minor signs of handling and slight discoloration consistent with age, but no major deformities or tears. The style suggests it could be from the latter half of the 20th century, likely from the 1980s or 1990s, given the packaging design and 'MADE IN USA' marking.
