    Does anyone recognize these gold marks on the back of these post earrings? Under the 'bar' is HP also numbers like 331 915? Thank you for looking! IMG_6544.jpg IMG_6543.jpg IMG_6542.JPG IMG_6541.JPG IMG_6540.jpg

    22 karat gold is .9167 pure, so that mark makes zero sense if they're real gold. I honestly can't read the photos, even up close with my glasses off. They're not European for sure.

    Stylewise possibly the Malay world: Malaysia-Singapore-Indonesia.

    I suspect gold washed silver.

    It is possible that it is 22K (915) for export maybe? Screw back would give further credibility to it. Probably India. 331 could be an internal style number type thing. Would need to take them down and have them tested if you don't know the origin :)

    A similar pattern;

    I'll test them this morning! I'll also try for better photographs. I have horrible lighting in my office! Thank you!
