Wire-Wrapped Amazonite Teardrop Earrings

This pair of dangle earrings features two large, polished stone briolettes, likely amazonite, characterized by their distinct opaque turquoise-to-aqua blue hue with subtle white mottled inclusions. Each stone is shaped into a flat teardrop or pear-like silhouette and measures approximately 30-35mm in length. The top of each stone is meticulously finished with a conical wire-wrap bail. This wrap consists of fine-gauge silver-toned wire, tightly coiled in a descending pattern to secure the stone. The earrings are suspended from matched silver-toned fishhook (French wire) ear wires, which include small clear plastic safety backs. The metal appears to be a base metal or sterling silver plating, though no hallmark is visible in the provided image. The construction suggests a contemporary, handmade artisan aesthetic, likely dating within the last 10-15 years. The stones exhibit a smooth vitreous luster with no visible chips or fractures, indicating very good condition. The wire-wrapping is uniform, displaying skilled craftsmanship without tool marks or loose ends. The overall style is representative of bohemian or naturalistic modern jewelry.
