Ruby Heart Earrings Appraisal

14K Gold Ruby and Diamond Heart Stud Earrings

A pair of petite 14K gold stud earrings designed for pierced ears. Each earring features a heart-shaped design with a flowing, stylized form at the bottom point. Within the curved upper section of the heart, three genuine marquise-cut rubies are set, showcasing a vibrant pinkish-red hue. Surrounding the rubies, along the curve of the heart, are several small, round-cut genuine diamonds, providing sparkling accents. The gold setting appears to be yellow gold, and the craftsmanship is delicate. Based on the appearance and style, these earrings likely date from the late 20th or early 21st century. The overall condition appears to be perfect, with no visible missing stones, scratches, or damage. The posts are clearly visible on the back, indicating they are designed for pierced ears. The intricate arrangement of the rubies and diamonds within the small heart shape demonstrates careful setting. There are no visible manufacturer's marks or stamps in the image, but these would typically be found on the post or butterfly backing (not shown). The stones are well-matched in color and clarity, contributing to the overall aesthetic appeal. The size appears to be relatively small, suitable for everyday wear.
