Emerald-Cut Lavender Glass Post Earrings

This pair of stud earrings features emerald-cut lavender stones, which appear to be faceted glass or synthetic crystal, measuring approximately 8mm by 10mm. The stones are secured in a four-prong basket setting finished in a bright gold-tone metal. Each stone exhibits a rectangular shape with truncated corners and stepped facets on the crown. The metalwork shows signs of commercial-grade construction with visible prong tips and a high-shine yellow gold plating over a base metal. The earrings utilize a post-back mechanism, with one earring missing its clutch and the other retaining a standard butterfly or bullet-style nut. Condition-wise, the gold plating shows significant wear and tarnish, particularly along the top edges of the settings where the base metal is beginning to show through. There is visible surface accumulation and dust within the facet junctions, suggesting these are contemporary fashion jewelry (costume) rather than fine jewelry. Despite the user's note regarding pearls, no pearls are visible in this specific image. The lavender hue is consistent with amethyst-colored glass or cubic zirconia commonly found in late 20th-century to early 21st-century retail fashion accessories.
