Elegant pair of screwback earrings, each featuring three outstanding 6-mm pearls clusted around small white zircons. The pearls are of exceptional quality--quite similar to Mikimoto. The body color is a bright white with silvery overtones. The skins are smooth and the lustre is very nice. The white zircons have the appearance of diamonds and were often used as diamond substitutes in the first half of the 20th century. The backs are marked "14K".Origin: America, circa 1920. Condition: excellent, all original. Size: 3/4" x 3/4". Weight: 6.5 grams.

Lovely 3-carat buff-cut amethyst set in a 10 karat white gold filigree mounting. The setting holds the stone up high so the faceted bottom of the stone is adequately reflected through the smooth dome-shaped top. This cutting treatment was popular in the late Victorian and early Edwardian periods, but is rarely found nowadays. The shank is marked "10K".Origin: American, circa 1900. Condition: excellent, the stone has a few minor scratches on the top surface (common on smooth-surface stones) that do not detract from the appearace. Size: 5-3/4. Weight: 3 carats.
