Sterling Silver Teardrop Dangle Earrings

This is a pair of drop-style earrings featuring a sleek, elongated teardrop or 'pear' silhouette. The earrings are constructed from polished silver metal, with a visible Hallmark '925' stamped on the shepherd's hook ear wires, indicating they are made of sterling silver (92.5% purity). Each tear-shaped pendant is hollowed or solid-cast with a smooth, high-shine finish that reflects light across its rounded surfaces. The pendant is attached to the ear wire via a simple integrated loop and jump ring system. The ear wires themselves feature a decorative coiled wire wrap near the base of the hook, a common fine jewelry construction detail. In terms of condition, the earrings exhibit moderate surface wear including fine scratches, micro-pitting, and some localized oxidation (tarnish), particularly where the pendant meets the ear wire. The style is classic and minimalist, likely dating from the late 20th century to the present. The craftsmanship is consistent with commercial-grade fine jewelry, showing symmetrical form and secure attachment points. No makers' marks other than the fineness stamp are immediately visible to confirm the specific manufacturer.
