Inlaid Turquoise and Mother-of-Pearl Sterling Silver Stud Earrings

This pair of stud earrings features a circular design, approximately 8-10mm in diameter, with an inlay of alternating turquoise and what appears to be mother-of-pearl or a similar iridescent shell material. Each earring has two distinct segments: one vibrant blue-green turquoise trapezoidal section and one creamy-white to light-yellow iridescent trapezoidal section, precisely cut and fitted together to form a circular face. The gemstones/shell pieces are set within a sterling silver bezel, which is visibly aged with some tarnishing, indicating its silver content and suggesting a period of use. The silver setting creates a clean, polished border around the inlay. A standard post-back earring finding is attached to the rear of each earring, also made of sterling silver, with a visible slight bend to one post, possibly from wear or handling. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with the inlay pieces flush and smoothly integrated into the bezel. There are no visible maker's marks or stamps in the provided image; closer inspection would be required to identify any hallmarks. The style suggests a Southwestern or Native American influence, or possibly a contemporary interpretation using such materials. The overall condition shows minor wear consistent with gentle use, including the aforementioned tarnishing of the silver, but no significant damage like chips or cracks in the inlay is apparent. The aesthetic points to a potential age ranging from late 20th century to early 21st century.
