Precious Gemstone Earrings Appraisal

Pair of Gemstone Stud Earrings

The item appears to be a pair of stud earrings, each featuring a single, round faceted gemstone. The gemstones are colorless and transparent, consistent with diamonds or diamond simulants such as cubic zirconia or moissanite. Given the visual information, it is not possible to definitively determine the exact material of the stones. Each stone is set in what appears to be a four-prong basket setting, likely crafted from a white metal, possibly silver, white gold, or platinum, judging by its reflective, silvery hue. There is a visible yellow-toned element at the back of one of the settings, which might suggest a gold post or a contrast in metal color for the earring findings, though this is not entirely clear. The overall size of the stones appears to be moderate, likely ranging from 0.25 to 0.75 carat equivalent per stone, based on their visual proportion to the fingers holding them. The settings seem to be robust, holding the stones securely. There are no obvious signs of significant damage like bent prongs or missing stones. The metal shows a general sheen consistent with polished jewelry, with no major visible scratches or tarnishing from this distance. Manufacturer's marks or hallmarks, which would typically be on the posts or backs, are not discernible from the image. These earrings likely date from the late 20th century to contemporary, as a classic and timeless design. The craftsmanship appears to be standard for mass-produced or semi-custom jewelry, focusing on secure stone setting and a clean finish.
