Pandora Cz Studs Appraisal

Pandora Sparkling Round Cubic Zirconia Stud Earrings

A pair of classic solitaire stud earrings featuring two large, round-cut brilliant clear cubic zirconia stones. The stones are secured within a refined four-prong basket setting, expertly crafted from sterling silver. Based on the provided context of 'S925 ALE' (though the marking is not clearly legible in this low-resolution photo), these are identified as authentic Pandora production; 'S925' signifies the 92.5% silver purity and 'ALE' stands for Algot Enevoldsen, the maker's mark for Pandora. The earrings feature a polished finish and are designed with traditional post-and-butterfly friction back closures. The stones exhibit high clarity and a multi-faceted cut designed to mimic the brilliance of diamonds. In terms of condition, they appear to be in good used condition with no visible chips to the stones, though there is a hint of light oxidation (tarnish) typical of sterling silver on the metal settings. The style is contemporary and minimalist, typical of late 20th to early 21st-century jewelry design, making them versatile for everyday wear. The craftsmanship reflects mass-market high-quality retail jewelry standards with uniform symmetry and robust prong setting.
