Art Deco Style Sterling Silver, Onyx, and Marcasite Drop Earrings

A pair of elongated drop earrings crafted in sterling silver, featuring an Art Deco geometric aesthetic. Each earring is anchored by a large, oval-cut black onyx cabochon set within a beaded bezel. The upper portion of the drop consists of intricate openwork filigree in a tiered, architectural design reminiscent of the 1920s to 1930s style. This silver framework is densely embellished with small, pavé-set marcasite stones that provide a subtle, metallic luster. The construction utilizes high-quality sterling silver, as indicated by the user-provided context, and features traditional 'shepherd's hook' ear wires for suspension. The overall length is significant, categorized as a 'duster' or shoulder-grazing length. Notable features include the sharp contrasting palette of the deep black onyx against the sparkling grey marcasite and the oxidized patina in the recessed areas of the silver, which enhances the visual depth of the filigree. Condition appears excellent with no visible missing marcasites or chips to the onyx, though slight surface tarnish is present on the ear wires consistent with age and material. The craftsmanship suggests a mid-20th-century vintage production or a high-quality late-century revival piece.
