Round Brilliant Cut Solitaire Stud Earrings

This is a pair of classic solitaire stud earrings featuring round brilliant cut colorless gemstones, which appear to be either diamonds, moissanite, or high-quality cubic zirconia. Based on visual scale against the human hand, each stone is approximately 0.50 to 0.75 carats. The stones are secured in what appears to be a traditional four-prong basket setting, likely crafted from a white precious metal such as 14k white gold, 18k white gold, or platinum, though no hallmarks are visible in the photograph. The cut of the stones shows a high degree of brilliance and fire, suggesting a modern precision cut. The stones exhibit a bright white hue with no immediate visible inclusions or 'pepper' spots from this distance. The overall condition appears excellent with well-aligned prongs and no signs of metal fatigue or significant scratching. The style is timeless and characteristic of contemporary jewelry design from the late 20th century to the present. The craftsmanship is clean, focusing on maximizing light entry into the pavilion of the stones to enhance their 'scintillation' and 'fire'. Determining the exact material value would require closer inspection of the posts for fineness stamps and a thermal conductivity test of the gemstones.
