    Hi everyone :)
    The round part of these earrings is white gold and the rest is yellow (14k). They have a stamp saying "Pad pend" on the wires but otherwise no marks. The diamonds are old cut. (I love the scallop tube setting btw) Based on my research, they should be somewhere between 1920-1955. Kind of have a modern touch to them too though.

    I would appreciate your thoughts :cat:

    As far as I know, wires that insert from the back of the ear are an older type of earring, so I would put these to the earlier end of your range. Deco? Debatable.

    I don't know a lot about pierced earrings, but Deco these ain't. Pre-WWI maybe.

    I agree. These are probably ca 1900-1910. Very pretty.

    Edwardian often gets called Belle Epoque too - 1901-1914 or thereabouts. King Edward, son of Victoria, ruled 1901-1910 and the next four years often get rolled in with.
