<p>[QUOTE="Aureliel, post: 196091, member: 3623"]Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and very glad to have found it! I collect antique jewelry and have a pair of earrings that I'm having trouble dating. I'd love your input on what period you think these may be! They appear to be green paste stones set in gilt (?), with small white paste stones as well. Foiled backs, which remind me of Georgian paste stones but I've never seen any Georgian paste stones with a patterned back like this. The pattern on the back is quite worn in places, it was a bit hard to capture in photos. It's an indentation in the shape of a circle in the center and then a pebbled pattern around it, although in some places it has become entirely smooth due to age. The hooks are 14K gold and a modern addition.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any thoughts? Thank you very much for any help you can give!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]55708[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]55709[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]55710[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
