Resin Earrings Appraisal

Handmade Resin Teardrop Earrings with Sterling Silver Hooks

This item consists of a pair of handmade teardrop-shaped dangle earrings. Each earring features a main body crafted from resin, exhibiting a gradient of green hues that transition from lighter lime green tones at the top to deeper, darker forest green and almost black tones towards the bottom. The resin components are opaque and have a mottled or cloudy appearance, closely mimicking the natural veining and inclusions often found in jade or similar semi-precious stones. The surface of the resin appears smooth and polished, reflecting light gently. Each teardrop shape is suspended from a sterling silver fishhook earring wire, which has a small bead detail just above the resin element. The hooks are a bright, shiny silver color, indicating they are likely new or well-maintained. The construction suggests a handcrafted origin, with the resin work showing unique variations between the two earrings, particularly in the distribution and intensity of the color swirls. One earring, specifically the one on the right in the image, exhibits a slightly more complex internal texture or inclusion in its darker green lower section. There are no visible manufacturer's marks or signatures. Given the handmade nature and the material, these earrings are likely contemporary, possibly made within the last decade. The craftsmanship indicates a moderate level of skill in resin artistry, successfully achieving an aesthetic similar to natural stone without the inherent weight or cost. No overt condition issues such as chips, cracks, or significant wear are visible in the provided image; the silver hooks appear untarnished.
