Reconstructed Turquoise Earrings Appraisal

Reconstructed Turquoise and Blue Stone Dangle Earrings

This pair of dangle earrings features two trapezoidal, flat gemstone pieces, each suspended from a lever-back earring hook. The gemstones exhibit a striking matrix of deep purple-blue, bright turquoise, and lighter blue hues, characteristic of reconstructed or treated turquoise or other similar blue stones with intricate veining. The irregular, crackled appearance of the matrix suggests a reconstituted material, possibly stabilized turquoise or a composite. The surfaces of the gemstone pieces appear polished with a glossy finish. Each stone is cut into a tapered trapezoid shape, wider at the bottom and narrower at the top, with flat, smooth sides. The overall physical condition appears good, with no visible chips, cracks, or significant abrasions on the stone components. The metal findings are silver-toned, likely a common alloy such as stainless steel, sterling silver, or plated base metal, given their color and lustrous appearance. They are constructed with a lever-back clasp mechanism, providing a secure closure. There are no discernible maker's marks, signatures, or stamps evident in the provided images. The contemporary design, combined with the lever-back findings, suggests an estimated age from the late 20th century to the present day. These earrings showcase a vibrant color palette and a modern aesthetic, suitable for casual or bohemian styles. The craftsmanship appears to be of standard commercial quality, with well-formed metal components and neatly cut and polished stone elements.
