Pair of Square-Cut Gemstone Stud Earrings

The item consists of a pair of identical stud earrings, each featuring a prominent square-cut clear gemstone set within a circular, possibly metal, frame. The gemstones appear to be brilliant-cut or princess-cut stones, exhibiting multiple facets that catch and reflect light, suggesting they could be diamonds, cubic zirconia, or another simulant. The setting entirely encompasses the perimeter of each square stone, with a visible gap or shadow line between the stone and the circular frame, suggesting a bezel or similar setting style. The circular frames appear to be made of a silver-toned metal, possibly sterling silver, white gold, or platinum, or a costume jewelry alloy, though direct observation of hallmarks is not possible. The surface of the metal frames shows some signs of wear, possibly minor scratching or tarnishing, evidenced by slight dullness or discoloration around the edges, particularly on the left earring. The overall condition appears good, with no obvious major damage like chips to the stones or significant deformation of the settings, but a full assessment is limited by the image quality and vantage point. The backs of the earrings are not visible, so the type of post or clasp (e.g., butterfly back, screw back) cannot be determined. These earrings likely belong to a contemporary or modern style period due to their simple, geometric design. The craftsmanship appears to be machine-made or semi-handcrafted, common for mass-produced or commercially available jewelry. The stones are well-centered within their settings.
