Paparazzi Black Gemstone Drop Earrings

These are a pair of fashion earrings from the brand Paparazzi, as indicated by the black cardboard backing card with the "Paparazzi" logo prominently displayed. Each earring features a silver-tone metal construction, offering a contemporary and slightly edgy aesthetic. The design begins with a small oval-shaped link, encrusted with clear, likely synthetic, rhinestones, serving as the attachment point for a larger, similar rhinestone-studded oval link. This linkage adds flexibility and movement to the earring. Suspended from the lower rhinestone-studded link is a substantial, faceted black gemstone, possibly made of glass, acrylic, or a similar synthetic material. The gemstone is cut in an octagonal, almost rectangular, shape with beveled edges, encased within a complementary silver-tone bezel setting. The black color of the gemstone offers a stark contrast against the sparkling rhinestones and silver-tone metal. The earrings appear to be in new or excellent condition, still attached to their original retail packaging, suggesting they have not been worn. No visible damage, wear, or patina is apparent on the metal or the gemstones. The craftsmanship appears consistent with mass-produced fashion jewelry, where the focus is on achieving an attractive aesthetic at an accessible price point, rather than high-end materials or intricate detailing. The overall length of each earring, from the top of the ear wire to the bottom of the black gemstone, can be estimated at approximately 2 to 2.5 inches based on the visible ruler markings in the background. The weight displayed on the digital scale as '25 g' likely represents the combined weight of the two earrings and their packaging, or perhaps just the earrings.
