Statement Stud Earrings Appraisal

Rhinestone Cluster Stud Earrings

These are a pair of silver-toned stud earrings, each featuring a decorative cluster design. The main body of each earring appears to be made from a base metal, likely a silver-colored alloy, with a polished finish. The design incorporates two primary circular elements adorned with small, clear or slightly greyish-brown rhinestones. The top circle on each earring is surrounded by radiating, petal-like extensions, giving it a floral or sunburst appearance. Below this, a smaller, similarly rhinestone-set circle is connected, and beneath that, another smaller, rhinestone-studded circular element dangles or is attached, creating a curvilinear, almost scroll-like shape. The rhinestones are uniformly sized and appear to be round or brilliant cut, set closely together to maximize sparkle. Given their appearance, these earrings likely belong to a costume jewelry collection, possibly from the mid-20th century onwards, designed to mimic fine jewelry. There are no obvious visible manufacturer's marks or signatures in the provided images. The overall condition appears good, with no obvious missing stones or significant tarnishing, though a closer inspection would be needed to confirm this. The craftsmanship seems standard for mass-produced costume jewelry, focusing on visual appeal rather than intricate hand finishing. The items are shown resting on a dark fabric, possibly velour or fleece, which provides a strong contrast to their metallic luster.
