C O N D I T I O N
in good vintage condition
-the bezels are thin and delicate, but they seem to be holding onto the stones nicely and have a small round cut-out in the back that offers enough visibility to the underside of the stone to confirm that it's the bezel setting doing its job, not jeweler's epoxy
-earring backs appear to be a matched pair, which may mean they're original to the posts
-these have minimal patina and not many signs of being worn
-one of the earring posts is bent slightly out of level
-marked 14k on the earring backs, not the settings or the posts, but all components are 14k via XRF
