Pink Pearl Stud Earrings
A pair of classic solitaire stud earrings featuring two spherical pearls with a subtle pinkish-lavender overtone. The pearls appear to be approximately 7-8mm in diameter, exhibiting a soft, satiny luster with visible orient and minor surface irregularities characteristic of cultured freshwater pearls. They are mounted on friction-back posts, often referred to as 'butterfly' or 'scroll' backs. The metal settings show a dull, greyish patina and visible tarnish, particularly around the gallery and the posts, which suggests they may be crafted from sterling silver or a base metal alloy rather than high-karat white gold. One earring is positioned showing the front profile of the pearl, while the other is turned to reveal the mechanical assembly. There is significant darkening and oxidation present on the metal components, indicating age or exposure to moisture. The construction is a standard peg-and-glue mount, a common jewelry-making technique for this style of earring. The overall condition is fair to good, though they would benefit from professional cleaning to restore the metal's shine and the pearls' luminosity. The age is estimated to be late 20th century to modern contemporary.
