Antique earrings-looking for info

Hello. I found this pair of earrings in with some old jewellery from the 20's. They have been in family for a long time, Im really curious about them if anyone has any info. Thanks so much

 

Those look very 1960s-70s BoHo

 

Thanks, can i ask what are the things about this piece that make you think this? They were in a box with items from 1910 to the 70's im guessing. But the later stuff was easy to id and much different, more beads and stones. Id love to learn more about these but through my reading it seems like that may be hard without any real defining mark or feature...

 

Style, construction... and perhaps the fact some of us had similar in those years

 

Those are from Peru. Those flattened spade endings on the dangles are typical as is the stone shape and set.

 

Beat me to it. We know our Peruvian stuff.
Similar or even exactly the same earrings are still made in Peru.

 

We do! I like them, especially with green stones.

 

I also had a pair just like these in the 1970s.

 

Awesome. Thanks for the info. Now im curious how they popped up in my families forgotten box...

 

Someone went to a craft fair or market 40 years ago?

 

They were sold pretty widely, still are. Someone liked boho stuff.

 

Peruvian chrysocolla, which is darker than most chrysocolla. A beautiful stone.

 

That’s the stuff, it’s lovely.
