    Hello,

    I'm asking for your help identifying some earrings I am uncertain about.
    They are listed as modernist and silver metal, with no other information.
    Would they be worth acquiring, according to you?

    Thank you for your help! earrings.jpg

    Can we see the back, too? Are they clips? Also use "Full Image" when posting photos.

    If you like them for yourself, by all means buy them, it is good to treat yourself once in a while.
    For resale, I don't think there is enough value in them, but that is just me. It looks a bit home made, but that could be its charm.

    Thank you for all the replies!
    They are selling for about 10 dollars, but I had the feeling that they could be worth more... What do you think?

    My guess would be copper and enamel or brass and glass. They look commercially made and they're not marked and made like costume. - and I think I'm seeing copper coming through. $10 sounds like retail or retail and then some.

    Sorry, I should have specified that it is a bid! 10 dollars is the starting price :happy:

    Tell the shop good luck; I hope they get more than one bid! Where I am, they'd be in the $5 case. No one buys clips.

    I buy clips. ;) But I'd not pay more than a few quid for those.

    I love clips too, I think they have a very vintage feel :pompous:
    Thank you again everyone for all the replies!

    I agree that the value does not seem to be $10 or above and you need to add in the shipping if it's not included. They do seem to be plated metal and they don't match in tone from the images provided. Also important to keep in mind, since each earring is not symmetrical, make sure they earrings are mirror-images of each other. Hard to tell from the pics but when placed on the ears, they should not appear identical, but rather the curved center bar should go one direction on the left and another on the right. Hope that's not too confusing! I've bought too many pairs where they did not mirror each other, impossible to sell for the most part.
