Round Brilliant Diamond Stud Earrings

A pair of classic round brilliant-cut solitaire stud earrings. Each earring features a clear colorless gemstone, likely diamond or a high-quality stimulant, estimated at approximately 0.25 to 0.40 carats each based on their scale relative to the fingertips. The stones are secured in a four-prong setting made of yellow metal, appearing to be 10k or 14k yellow gold. The craftsmanship utilizes a traditional basket-style mounting which allows light to enter the side of the stones to maximize brilliance and fire. The stones exhibit a high degree of transparency with no visible inclusions to the naked eye from this distance. The metal settings show a bright polished finish with minimal wear, suggesting they have been well-maintained. While specific hallmarks are not visible in the photograph, the style is a timeless mid-to-late 20th-century design that remains a staple in contemporary jewelry. The prong tips appear symmetrical and securely seated over the crown of the gems. Condition overall appears excellent with no missing stones or significant deformation of the posts.
