Vintage Sterling Silver Turquoise Stud Earrings · Teardrop Cabochons

Small vintage sterling silver stud earrings set with pear-shaped turquoise cabochons. Each stone is held in a smooth silver bezel that follows the teardrop outline, giving the earrings a clean, simple profile that keeps the turquoise as the focus.
 
The turquoise is a bright blue-green with subtle natural-looking variations in colour and small tan/brown matrix markings. The two stones coordinate closely but aren't perfectly identical, giving the pair an individual, handmade appearance.
 
At approximately 8.55mm long, these are petite studs that sit close to the ear. They have straight posts with butterfly backs and weigh only approximately 0.5 grams for the pair.
 
There is visible patina and age-related surface wear to the silver, see photographs.
