Jewelry Gemstone Appraisal

Acorn-Themed Green Gemstone Jewelry Set

This item consists of a matching set of three pieces of jewelry: two earrings and one pendant, each designed to resemble an acorn. Each piece features a large, faceted, teardrop-shaped gemstone in a vibrant, translucent lime green color, simulating the body of an acorn. The 'cap' of each acorn is crafted from a gold-toned metal, intricately designed with an openwork filigree pattern that mimics the textured surface of an acorn cap. This filigree work appears to be quite delicate and detailed, suggesting fine craftsmanship. On top of the filigree cap, near where the bail or hook would attach, a small, circular, bright green gemstone (likely a rhinestone or small crystal) is set, adding an additional touch of sparkle and connecting visually to the main green stone. The pendant includes a small, gold-toned bail for attachment to a chain, while the earrings appear to have a loop for hook-style earring findings, though the actual hooks are not visible in the image. The metal components show a consistent gold tone, indicating either gold plating or a gold alloy. The condition appears to be good overall, with no obvious major damage like chips or cracks in the stones, or significant tarnish/wear on the metal. The items are shown on a rich, crimson fabric background, which provides a strong contrast and highlights the green of the stones. The style suggests a mid-20th century to contemporary period, leaning towards costume jewelry given the visible craftsmanship. The uniformity in design across all three pieces indicates they were manufactured as a coordinated set, aiming for an elegant yet playful botanical theme.
