Openwork Silver-Tone Drop Earring with Citrine-Colored Gemstones
This item is a single drop earring featuring a decorative openwork silver-tone metal frame. The design is characterized by an quatrefoil or scalloped botanical silhouette with small, repetitive indentations or 'beaded' textures along the outer edges of the metalwork. The earring is set with three visible honey-yellow or citrine-colored gemstones: one centrally mounted faceted stone and two smaller teardrop or briolette-shaped stones dangling from the bottom edge. The metal appears to be a patinated silver-colored alloy, possibly sterling silver or a high-quality silver plate, showing slight dark oxidation in the recessed areas which enhances the detail. The earring is suspended from a simple shepherd's hook (ear wire) which lacks a safety clasp. While no definitive maker's marks are visible due to the image resolution, the craftsmanship suggests a late 20th-century or contemporary fashion piece, likely drawing inspiration from Art Nouveau or Bohemian styles. The condition appears fair to good, with some slight bending in the ear wire and minor surface tarnish consistent with age and previous wear. The stones exhibit a high degree of transparency and moderate brilliance.
