Vintage sterling silver earrings with marquise-cut green amethyst earrings. I believe these date to the 1960s or 70s. They appear to be handmade, because there is a near-identical divot in the back of each earring (please see photos) that looks like an artifact of someone who is new to making jewelry (like the maker wasn't sure how to fully close the silver oval - the pictures help this description make sense). The settings are heavy; there is a decent amount of silver in these. The ear hooks are original, and are heavy themselves. They have a neat kind of flourish to them. The amethyst stones are a light apple-green (the photos show them looking greyish, which they aren't in person). Until I cleaned these, I thought they were dirty CZ! When they were clean, they turned into a nice pale apple green. I took them to the jeweler because I thought they might be pale green amethyst and he confirmed this, so that's a nice surprise. :) There are a few tiny pits in the earring settings that have been there ever since I can remember, and the front of one amethyst has some very fine scratches (not noticeable when worn, thankfully). Overall these are in very good vintage condition. They're fairly large and would definitely make a statement!

Asking $75 + shipping, to be determined by zip code. Items are shipped with lots of padding so that items don't shift during transit.

NO returns/refunds/exchanges accepted as I am just a private party looking to sell my items. I am trying to raise money for an upcoming surgery that my insurance company deems "experimental." I prefer to use PayPal, with buyer paying 3% fee. Thanks for looking! :)
