Swarovski Crystal and Sterling Silver Drop Earrings

A pair of contemporary sterling silver drop earrings featuring high-quality Swarovski crystal elements. Each earring is composed of a round, faceted chaton-style Swarovski crystal element at the top, which is suspended from a lever-back ear wire for security. Hanging from the top crystal is a long, faceted crystal teardrop or 'Icicle' pendant. The earrings are constructed using sterling silver hardware, which provides a bright, reflective finish that complements the brilliance of the clear crystals. The facets on both the round top element and the elongated drop are precisely cut, which is characteristic of Swarovski’s lead-glass manufacturing, known for its high refractive index and clarity. The color of the stones appears to be clear (Crystal) with no tinting. The condition of the pair appears excellent, with no visible chipping to the crystal edges or major surface abrasions. The metal shows minimal signs of tarnish or patina, suggesting they have been well-maintained. The style is classic and formal, likely dating from the early 21st century. The craftsmanship is evidenced by the clean transitions between the crystal and the metal loops, ensuring both durability and a high-end aesthetic. The lever-back closure is a quality indicator, providing more security than a standard fishhook wire.
