Cushion-Cut Solitaire Stud Earring
This item is a single solitaire stud earring featuring a large cushion-cut colorless stone, likely a cubic zirconia or a lab-created white sapphire given the scale and clarity visible. The stone exhibits a high-brilliance facet pattern characteristic of modern cutting techniques. It is securely mounted in a four-prong basket setting made of a silver-toned metal, which appears to be sterling silver or white gold-plated brass based on the surface sheen and slight darkening in the recessed areas. The construction is a standard post-and-nut style intended for pierced ears, though the friction back (butterfly nut) is not visible in the image. In terms of condition, the metal shows minor surface scratches and slight patina indicative of regular wear, while the stone appears intact without major chips or surface abrasions. No visible hallmark or maker's mark can be identified from this angle, though such stamps are typically located on the post or the side bar of the basket. The style is a contemporary classic, likely manufactured within the last 10-20 years. The craftsmanship is functional, using a standard industrial casting method common for fashion or fine-commercial jewelry collections.
