Vintage Silver Onyx Drop Earrings · Oval Cabochons · Stamped Plata 925

A classic pair of vintage sterling silver drop earrings set with polished black onyx cabochons. Each earring features an oval onyx with a smooth, high-polish surface, surrounded by a substantial rounded sterling silver bezel.
 
The oval drops are suspended from simple fishhook ear wires, allowing them to move freely when worn. The combination of glossy black onyx and softly aged silver gives the earrings a clean, versatile look with plenty of contrast.
 
Stamped PLATA 925, indicating sterling silver. The silver shows visible patina and surface wear consistent with age and previous wear.
