Featured a new discovery. Help! antique earrings?

I bought these earrings for 15 euros in Austria. I tested them with gold solution..it stands at 9 and 14 carats. But as you can see, they only seem to be plated with gold. It has 2 hallmarks that are impossible to take a good picture of. Please help me with information. What style is it? about how old? it was worth? Hallmarks (⁸A) (sA) (sL) I think there is something else after that A or L? Ty !

 

Gorgeous earrings. They look Austrian made, Biedermeier style, but the hooks date from ca 1890-1900.
The small loops at the bottom originally had tiny ball dangles, one on each earring. You can replace those yourself by using gilded ball head pins.

Great buy.

Very likely. They don't have Austrian assay marks for gold. But even gold-plated jewellery of this style is worth much more than what you paid. And there aren't many earrings in this style.

 

Ty for info

Very pretty find! Biedermeier! You have done well
And... Welcome on board!

 

Oddly, the fronts look like gold-filled but the backs look like real gold. But..who knows. If you have a really good magnifying glass or loupe, look at the edge where the front and back are put together. That's the spot where the brass usually shows through, if anywhere.

 

it has a pretty thick layer of gold...I looked at the joint. Thank you for the advice.

 

TY ! I'm a beginner. I love old jewelry. even if I don't know the styles well I sense that they are really old or valuable. I also have other discoveries of gold and silver, but it is difficult to identify the hallmarks etc.
