Lever Back Earrings Appraisal

Pair of Dark Grey Pearl Dangle Earrings with Gold-Toned Lever-Back Findings

The item consists of a pair of dangle earrings, each featuring a prominent, spherical dark grey to black pearl suspended from a gold-toned lever-back earring finding. The pearls appear to be of significant size, likely in the range of 10-12mm in diameter, exhibiting a lustrous, smooth surface characteristic of cultured or natural pearls. While the exact color classification is difficult from the image, they lean towards a charcoal or natural Tahitian pearl hue, showing some subtle natural variations in tone and possible overtones. The gold-toned findings are bright and show minimal signs of tarnish or wear, suggesting they are either well-maintained or made of a durable metal such as gold. Each lever-back mechanism features a smooth, curved hoop that closes securely behind the earlobe, providing both comfort and security. The construction appears to be well-executed, with a simple yet elegant setting that allows the pearls to be the focal point. No obvious scratches, chips, or major imperfections are visible on the pearls, and the metal shows no visible damage or repair evidence. The style is classic and timeless, suitable for contemporary wear, likely dating from the late 20th century to the present. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, focusing on clean lines and secure settings.
