[QUOTE="mirana, post: 9555456, member: 79705"]Picked these up a while ago and tried my best to definitively narrow it down to an era and haven't been able to yet. Tested sterling but no hallmark, hooks look like they may have been gilded at one point, marcasites held in with a clawed collet, fine milgrain, cast shapes and the bottom wreath worked together with a wire instead of mounted flat. [ATTACH=full]456221[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]456222[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]456223[/ATTACH] Has this "mark" on one earring. Since they're cast and the other is unmarked this feels like it would be a deliberate addition, but I can't tell what it is, if anything. [ATTACH=full]456234[/ATTACH] I don't think they're necessarily 1890 or 1990 but it was a fun title. :p[/QUOTE]
