Beautiful vintage solid 10K yellow gold earrings set with natural, gem-quality Andalusite, an uncommon collector gemstone prized for its exceptionally strong pleochroism. About the gemstone: While Andalusite itself is not a rare mineral, transparent material of sufficient quality to be faceted for fine jewelry is considerably less common, which is why gem-quality Andalusite has traditionally been regarded as more of a collector or connoisseur gemstone. One of Andalusite’s most fascinating characteristics is its strong pleochroism. Depending upon viewing direction, these stones reveal different combinations of cognac, amber, smoky brown, reddish-orange and subtle olive/green tones—sometimes displaying more than one color within an individual stone at once. This is a natural optical property of the gemstone and should not be confused with a traditional “color-change” stone such as Alexandrite. The photos beautifully capture some of the dramatic color variation in this particular pair. Details: • Vintage fine jewelry • Solid 10K yellow gold earrings, stamped 10K • Natural, gem-quality Andalusite gemstones • Combination of round and marquise cuts • Strong natural pleochroism • Intricate dimensional floral/starburst cluster design • Earrings weigh 2.812g without backs • Includes solid 14K yellow gold tension backs, stamped 585/14K • 14K backs weigh 0.223g • Approximate combined wearable weight: 3.035g • Excellent pre-owned vintage condition with light wear consistent with age

nonstopsarahcOh my goodness, I’m cracking up! I’m on a camping trip and had “Smart Sell” activated. That was some aggressive negotiation, haha…sorry! They really are beautiful, and I would love for them to go to a good home. I have countered you, I’d love to be able to meet you in the middle between your initial offer and my selling price!
