    Description

    These lovely sky blue paste earrings are set in finely-detailed sterling silver. While thought to be aquamarines, the stones have tested as paste. Paste is a heavy glass that simulates the fire and brilliance of gemstones because it has relatively high indices of refraction and strong dispersion (separation of white light into its component colors).
    Total length approximately 2 inches, drop length approximately 1.5"
    Provenance: These belonged to my grandmother when she was young. She never had pierced ears!
    I have switched out the original screw backs for new, nickel-free modern hooks for your convenience. The original screw backs, which are marked "Sterling" will be included in your purchase. They are easy to switch out should you so desire.
    Never a shipping charge. Reasonable offers considered. Check out my other listings for more great antique jewelry
