I'VE BEEN ALL OVER THE PLACE RECENTLY, CROSSING THRU THREE STATES ON A MAJOR BUYING SPREE, HAVING COME BACK WITH ALL KINDS OF FANTASTIC VINTAGE-TO-ANTIQUE ITEMS.  THESE INCLUDE (BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO):  SOLID GOLD JEWELRY; GOLD FILLED JEWELRY AND OTHER VICTORIAN AND ART DECO GOLD FILLED ITEMS; STERLING SILVER JEWELRY (& MORE); LOTS OF ANTIQUE "SMALLS" (THINGS THAT FIT IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND); AND MORE(!), SO PLEASE CHECK THEM ALL OUT AS I LIST THEM THIS WEEK.
THIS LOT HAS THREE GORGEOUS PAIRS OF LADIES WESTERN AMERICANA STYLE EARRINGS, EACH OF WHICH IS BOTH YELLOW GOLD AND SILVER PLATED.  THE DETAILED DESIGNS ON EACH OF THESE SETS IS REALLY FANTASTIC AND EACH SET IS VERY ATTRACTIVE.
THESE ARE IN THE STYLE OF OTHER OFFERINGS FROM "CRUMRINE" AND "MONTANA SILVERSMITHS", BUT THEY ARE NOT MARKED or SIGNED AT ALL, SO I DON'T KNOW WHO MADE THEM, OR WHERE THEY WERE MADE.  ALSO, I DID TRY TO MATCH UP SOME EARRING BACKS FOR YOU (OUT OF MY NOW VERY LIMITED INVENTORY), BUT I COULDN'T FIND ANY TO MATCH.
THESE EARRINGS WERE ORIGINALLY COMPLETELY PLATED IN SILVER (TYPICALLY OVER EITHER COPPER OR BRASS), AND THEN THE YELLOW GOLD PLATING WAS APPLIED TO THOSE AREAS.  WITH THE USE OF HEAVY (30x) MAGNIFICATION (WITH A LOUPE THAT ALSO HAS A BRIGHT WHITE LED LIGHT), IT AT FIRST APPEARS THAT THERE IS MORE WEAR TO THE GOLD THAN TO THE SILVER.
HOWEVER, THAT DOESN'T REALLY MAKE ANY SENSE, UNTIL I GOT TO STUDYING THEM FURTHER.  I CAN NOW SEE THAT THE GOLD WASN'T APPLIED 100% "ACCURATELY", SO THEN TO SEE SOME "MISSING" (IN MICROSCOPIC AREAS), IT'S MORE LIKE THAT GOLD WASN'T AS WELL APPLIED AS THE BASE OF THE SILVER PLATING.
TO BE SURE, THERE IS LIGHT WEAR ON THESE, BUT THE EARRINGS ARE STILL IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, SHOWING JUST LIGHT WEAR OVERALL.  THE TOTAL WEIGHT OF THE LOT IS 33.40 GRAMS.
PLEASE NOTE:  I AM NOT A JEWELER, OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF GEM EXPERT, SO I CAN'T (AND DON'T TRY TO) ACCURATELY GRADE GEMS, OR TRY TO PERFECTLY SIZE THEM.  I WILL GIVE MY BEST EFFORT TO GIVE YOU MY "BEST GUESS" ON THESE TYPES OF THINGS, GIVEN MY OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCES, BUT THEY ARE NOT GUARANTEES, AT ALL.  BUT, IF THERE ARE GEMSTONES IN THIS PARTICULAR LISTING, THEY HAVE BEEN ELECTRONICALLY TESTED, AND ARE GUARANTEED TO BE AS LISTED.  ALSO, I AM WEARING MY OWN WEDDING RING IN THESE PHOTOS, SO IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING A RING (OR RINGS) IN THIS LISTING, IT WILL BE FOR THE OTHER RING(S) SHOWN IN THE PHOTOS.  THANKS!
THE PICTURES ARE TO BE CONSIDERED AS PART OF THE DESCRIPTION.  PLEASE REVIEW THEM FOR A BETTER IDEA OF VARIETY AND CONDITION, AND I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.  ENJOY!
SHIPPING WILL BE .75 INSURED USPS FIRST CLASS,
AND I WOULD BE MORE THAN WILLING TO COMBINE SHIPPING.
I DON'T OFFER A RETURN POLICY, BUT, I WILL STAND BEHIND MY LISTINGS.  IF I MAKE A MISTAKE ON MY LISTING, OR I MISUNDERSTAND AN ITEM OR MISS A
RELEVANT FLAW ON THE ITEMS UP FOR BID, I WILL DO ANYTHING IN MY POWER TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT FOR THE BUYER, SO BID WITH CONFIDENCE!!!
THANKS FOR LOOKING!
