    I've had some Jewelry handed down to me, these earrings included. My mam doesn't know any history behind them or remembers how long they've been in the family.
    I guess I'm just looking to see if anyone knows much about this type of thing.
    I've been told they are white gold but age is unknown.
    For all I know they could be some Argos tat, but I get the feeling there is a history there. rps20170117_193053.jpg

    Any markings? A photo of the backs would be helpful. And check the posts for markings as well. I have no idea WHY, but many manufacturers put the metal content markings on the posts, even when there is a larger area on the item itself............................

    Sterling silver for sure. This style was popular in the 50s-60s,I think.

    Thank you :) how do you identify it's silver? I know it's something to do with the stamp but which part? Or is it all of it?

    Trying to broaden my knowledge, but it's a lot harder than I anticipated.
