These elegant earrings feature a beautiful green stone set in a silver leaf or feather design. Perfect for adding a touch of nature-inspired elegance to any outfit. Vintage condition, marked sterling on back. Not sure if the stones are considered paua or abalone. They definitely have a green resin type coat for the green color. Not all '925' is created equal. My items are solid sterling silver, not silver-plated over brass or nickel. This piece is made of solid, high-quality sterling silver, designed to last a lifetime. I am a former jewelry artisan and silversmith/metalsmith/bench jeweler with deep technical knowledge of high-quality fabrication techniques and a background in identifying, sourcing, and setting natural gemstones. I made the jewelry in my profile picture. I do not currently make jewelry.
