Featured Do these dangle earrings have any age or more likely modern revival?

    Hi all! These earrings are pretty but I am struggling to tell if they have any age or whether they are 1980s-90s revival pieces! They are post backs (which I usually associate with modern earrings) but have read that they may have been used in the 1920s-30s. I think they are silver, they are unmarked. The test for silver is weak so perhaps they are low grade. The rhinestones are gold foiled backed. Any info appreciated, I'm always trying to learn. Thank you!

    They are lovely, but revival, imo. Let's wait for the costume joolies, they'll know more.
    Or plated.

    Pretty sure they are newer as well. But a nicer pair!

    If correct about newer, I would think if they were silver they'd be marked somewhere as silver.

    They do seem to be a bit above average in quality. Very pretty.

    80s or later even. I'd think they're less than 20 years old if I found them.
