Yellow Gemstone Stud Earrings in Gold-Tone Settings

A pair of stud-style earrings featuring round-cut yellow gemstones, possibly citrine or yellow topaz, securely held within six-prong basket settings. The settings and posts appear to be made of gold-tone metal, which could be solid gold, gold-filled, or gold-plated base metal depending on hallmarking which is not visible in this image. The gemstones exhibit a deep amber or golden hue with noticeable internal reflections, suggesting they are faceted stones. One earring is shown with its friction-style butterfly back (scroll back) still attached to the post, while the other earring has the post fully exposed. The posts are straight and appear to be of standard ear-piercing gauge. Regarding condition, the metal shows a reflective surface with no immediate signs of heavy oxidation or plating loss, though minor surface scratches may be present from use. The prong work appears symmetrical, keeping the stones centered. Given the classic six-prong design, these items represent a timeless style common in jewelry manufacturing from the late 20th century to the present day. Note that the authenticity of the stones and the metal purity would require professional testing with a jeweler's loupe and acid test or XRF spectrometer for a definitive valuation.
