<p>[QUOTE=&quot;evelyb30, post: 30587, member: 36&quot;]The earrings look like trashed Mexican sterling, probably 30s/40s. Trashed because some idiot at some point in the past cut the screwbacks off.&nbsp; They aren&#039;t worth much now.&nbsp; I&#039;d put some french wires on &#039;em and wear the earrings.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>For the Trifari set, the easiest way to be sure is to get a good clear look at the mark.&nbsp; The simplest way to do that is to shoot on the Macro setting through a loupe or other magnification device.&nbsp; I use a stamp magnifier, but they make the same thing for counting knots in rugs.&nbsp; The advantage to those is they&#039;re built into a folding stand that put the item underneath into focus.&nbsp; My first guess on it would be late 60s, but it&#039;s hard to be sure. How long is the necklace?&nbsp; The basic rule of thumb is the shorter a choker is, the older it is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
