Sterling Silver and Blue Topaz Leverback Drip Earrings

A pair of contemporary sterling silver drop earrings featuring faceted blue topaz briolettes. Each earring is constructed with a leverback closure for security, which transitions into a fine, bright-finish silver chain. The estimated length of the drop is approximately 2 to 2.5 inches. Suspended at the terminus of each chain is a light sky-blue topaz gemstone, cut in an irregular, faceted briolette or 'nugget' style. The gemstones exhibit high clarity and a soft blue hue, appearing to be securely wire-wrapped to the chain ends with fine-gauge silver wire. The metal is indicated as sterling silver, though specific hallmarks are not visible in the magnification; the overall craftsmanship suggests a modern handmade or boutique production. The condition appears excellent with no visible chips to the gemstones or kinks in the fine chain. The style is minimalist and elegant, likely dating from the 2000s to the present. The use of leverbacks over simple fishhooks is a quality indicator, providing better security for the wearer. The subtle faceting on the topaz allows for high light refraction, enhancing the brilliance of the stones against the polished silver finish.
