Cabochon Jadeite Stud Earrings
A pair of petite stud earrings featuring round cabochon-cut gemstones, likely jadeite or nephrite jade, displaying a saturated forest green hue with subtle natural internal mottling. Each stone is securely housed in a silver-toned metal setting, designed with a four-prong 'tulip' or 'basket' mount that elevates the stone slightly from the earlobe. The metal appears to be sterling silver or white gold, though no visible hallmarking is identifiable due to the scale and photo resolution. The earrings feature standard straight posts for pierced ears. The stones exhibit a smooth, high-luster polish on their domed surfaces. In terms of condition, the metal posts show minor signs of use, including slight dulling of the finish indicative of light oxidation or wear over time. The stones appear intact without significant surface chips or fractures, which is a testament to the durability of the jade material. This style of earring is timeless, likely dating from the late 20th century to the present. The craftsmanship is professional, with the prongs evenly spaced and tightly gripping the stones, characterizing them as quality everyday fine jewelry rather than mass-produced costume pieces.
