Cain Sterling Silver and Garnet Fan Motif Drop Earrings

This pair of drop earrings features a sophisticated Art Deco-inspired fan or shell design, meticulously crafted from sterling silver. Each earring centers on a bezel-set round garnet cabochon, exhibiting a deep claret red hue typical of natural pyrope or almandine varieties. Surrounding the gemstone is a stylized floral bezel with scalloped edges, which transitions into a broad, fluted fan-like body with radiating textured ridges. The sterling silver has been treated with a heavy oxidation or chemical patination process to highlight the recessed linear details and give the pieces a vintage, antiqued character. According to provided hallmarks, these are produced by 'CAIN' and marked '.925' for sterling silver purity. The earrings are suspended from shepherd's hook (French hook) wires. The construction displays high-quality hand-finishing with crisp cast details. While they appear in good vintage condition, there is a visible natural patina and minor surface wear consistent with age. They reflect a transitional style between late 20th-century artisan jewelry and early 20th-century revivalist designs.
