Oval Peridot Stud Earrings in 14K Yellow Gold

A pair of classic stud earrings featuring two oval-cut gemstones, identified by their distinct pale olive-green hue as peridot. Each stone is approximately 1.5 to 2 carats, measuring roughly 7x5mm to 8x6mm based on palm scale. The gemstones are secured in yellow gold settings, likely 10K or 14K, using a traditional four-prong basket construction with a standard friction post back. One earring is shown with a butterfly-style tension clutch (earring back), while the other is missing the backing. The stones exhibit a characteristic 'lily pad' inclusion or slight internal fracturing typical of natural peridot, which contributes to their slightly cloudy appearance in the current lighting. The gold metal shows minor surface scratches and a light patina consistent with moderate wear and age. There are no visible maker's marks or hallmarks on the outer settings, though such stamps are typically found on the ear posts or the butterfly clutches. The style is timeless, likely manufactured in the late 20th century (circa 1980s-1990s). The overall craftsmanship appears solid, with symmetrical prongs and even stone orientation. One earring post appears slightly bent, but the structural integrity remains intact.
