Turquoise Teardrop Sterling Silver Lever-Back Earrings
These elegant drop-style earrings feature a multi-tiered arrangement of stabilized turquoise stones suspended from sterling silver lever-back closures. Each earring is anchored by a high-polish turquoise teardrop or pear-shaped briolette bead, approximately 15-18mm in length, showcasing a vibrant robin's egg blue hue with minimal visible matrix. Above the main drop is a smaller spherical turquoise bead and a tiny translucent accent bead, possibly glass or blue chalcedony, providing a delicate vertical transition. The metalwork is identified as sterling silver, polished to a bright shine with no significant tarnish visible in the current photo. The lever-back mechanism offers a secure closure, characteristic of mid-to-late 20th-century jewelry design, though the simplicity of the teardrop silhouette gives them a timeless, contemporary appeal. The stones appear to be well-matched in color and saturation, indicating professional-grade curation. There are no immediate signs of chips or cracks in the stone surfaces, and the overall condition appears excellent. While no specific maker's mark is visible through the camera lens, the craftsmanship suggests a high-quality artisanal or boutique origin.
