Spring Garden Antique & Vintage Market again today. From one of my favorite sellers, bought these adorable lady-like screw back earrings. They are GF but the maker's mark is so small I can't yet determine what it is from my loupe or camera. It is a single letter inside a diamond shape. A task for another day.

They look like my Coro sterling gold wash pieces. I love the style.
Greetings kustomkare. Thanks for looking. However, these are a bit better made than typical Coro. Also, can't read the maker's mark - and it is definitely not any of the Coro signatures - need more than a 10x loupe to read the mark. It looks sort of like a sideways J ... the research is fun isn't it? Have fun with yours. DD@Phila
