What can I more say. Years ago I bought these Art Deco earrings in Berlin (Germany) Very beautyful, but no hallmarks at all. So I don't know whether they are from white gold or from Platinum. What do you think and are they Art Deco?

Did you look on the post the stem is small some time it’s had to see
They are vary nice I like them
Hello Teresa,
I looked with a magnifier but I don't see any hallmark, nor on the stem nor on the post or elsewhere. I little bit frustrating. But they are nice that's true. Thanks for reacting.
Could it be that the pendants were a later addition to the diamund studs?
To me the style of the diamond studs (with claws, or as we say in Dutch "Spiegelchaton", looks different from the deco-style of the pendants.
Could be that originally there were two stones , bigger than the studs. They could also have had the marks.....
I believe that the settings of the diamonds on the posts are earlier than Art Deco, Edwardian or Victorian. It just LOOKS older too
In the time I got them, perhaps 30 years ago, I was not interested in the background but I just loved them and I still do.
