Carved Stone Cross Dangle Earrings
This pair of dangle earrings features large, hand-carved cross pendants suspended from silver-toned metal hardware. The crosses appear to be fashioned from a semi-translucent natural stone, likely soapstone, palest onyx, or perhaps a light-colored jadeite, displaying an off-white to cream color palette with organic internal veining and subtle marbling. Each cross is approximately two inches in length and features a simplified, blocky Latin cross silhouette. The stones have a smooth, polished finish, though the edges remain slightly irregular, suggesting artisanal rather than mass-factory production. The stone pendants are attached via decorative silver-colored bails with a triangular, textured filigree pattern. These bails connect to standard shepherd's hook or 'ear wire' findings, which include a small ball and coil decorative element. No visible maker's marks or metal purity stamps (such as .925) are discernible in the image, suggesting the hardware may be silver-plated base metal or stainless steel. The condition appears to be fair to good; there are visible surface scuffs and minor natural inclusions within the stone. One cross appears slightly longer and thinner than the other, indicating the handmade nature of the set. These likely date from the late 20th century to the present, following a bohemian or southwestern artisanal style.
