Sterling Silver Pear-Shaped Turquoise Drop Earrings

A pair of contemporary drop earrings crafted from sterling silver featuring genuine turquoise cabochons. Each earring begins with a polished vertical sterling bar that houses the post and is secured by a clear plastic disc and standard butterfly clutch. Suspended from a small jump ring is a bezel-set, pear-shaped (teardrop) turquoise stone. The turquoise exhibits a vibrant, solid robin's-egg blue hue with minimal dark spiderweb matrix visible, suggesting high-grade material such as Sleeping Beauty turquoise or similar. The metalwork is characterized by a smooth, high-polish finish with minimalist aesthetic lines. Typical of modern handcrafted or boutique jewelry from the late 20th to early 21st century, these pieces show no major visible damage or heavy tarnish. The bezel settings are neatly compressed around the stones, indicating quality benchwork. Minor surface micro-scratches consistent with light wear are present on the silver surfaces. The stones appear tightly seated with no signs of glue residue or chips. While specific maker's marks are not visible from this angle, they represent a classic southwestern or minimalist style.
