Sterling Silver Pearl Lotus Fringe Earrings

This is a pair of vintage-style dangle earrings featuring a floral and fringe design. Each earring is topped with a cast sterling silver lotus flower element, exhibiting a darkened, aged patina typical of vintage jewelry. Resting at the base of each lotus is a small, oval-shaped cabochon gemstone, possibly moonstone or a light-colored chalcedony, held in a bezel setting. Suspended from the silver floral tops are multiple strands of small, irregularly shaped white freshwater cultured pearls, creating a cascading fringe effect. Each pearl strand is finished with a tiny silver bead or headpin. The pearls have a creamy white luster with visible natural surface variations characteristic of baroque pearls. Based on the provided context of '.925', these earrings are constructed from sterling silver. The overall craftsmanship suggests a handcrafted or artisan origin, likely from the late 20th century. There are no visible maker's marks, but the patina indicates light wear and moderate oxidation, which adds vintage character. The construction is solid with secure wirework for the pearl strands.
