14k Yellow Gold Citrine and Diamond Teardrop Earrings

This pair of earrings features a teardrop design, each adorned with a central faceted citrine gemstone. The citrines display a vibrant golden-yellow hue, common for this gemstone type, and appear well-cut to maximize brilliance and fire. Surrounding each citrine is a halo of small, circular white stones, which are likely diamonds given the context provided, set in what appears to be 14k yellow gold based on the color and typical pairing with such gemstones. The metalwork around the halo is crafted with a slightly serrated or scalloped edge, adding a decorative touch and enhancing the overall sparkle. The prongs securing the citrine are visible, and the setting appears sturdy and well-finished. There are no obvious signs of significant wear or major damage such as chips or cracks on the gemstones, nor severe tarnishing or bending of the metal. The earrings exhibit good craftsmanship, indicative of a quality piece of jewelry. Given the '14k' context, this suggests a mid-to-late 20th century or contemporary style, as 14k gold became very popular during these periods for fine jewelry. The overall condition appears excellent, suggesting careful wear or good storage. One earring is being held in a hand for scale, showing its approximate size relative to a human finger, while the other rests on a brown, textured surface, likely a piece of furniture.
