    Just got these beautiful gold and seed pearl errings they have no marking and are missing a few pearls on one earring. I would love to know age and where they're from!!!
    Thank you for your time -Madison

      Could you try and post better photos (in focus and closeup)? Dating them would be only a guess at this point.

      How do you know these earrings are 10k gold if there are no marks? Yes, clearer photos are necessary. Take the photos in natural daylight without the flash. Thanks.

      Hi there, I am brand new to Collectors Weekly, but have been reading the Show and Tells with great interest for years now.

      I love your earrings, and am pretty sure, with the pearl work and style, that they are from Oaxaca in Mexico. I had a quick look via Google Images, and there is a pair almost identical to yours on Ebay at the moment (ref 222042057428, "Jardines" Oaxaca earrings).

      So, it would appear that you have a pair of old C18th and rare traditional earrings, lucky you! There are some interesting blogs etc about Oaxaca jewellery on Google, so you could have a lot of fun researching them.

      Sorry, typo, I meant C19th (although maybe they could be a little older)!

      I know they're gold because I acid tested them and I tried uploading new pictures but I wasn't able to. And it's that's what they are cool!!!
