A Group of Sterling Silver and Gemstone Earrings and Pendant
Description
A collection of sterling silver jewelry featuring an assortment of artisanal designs. The group includes a pair of drop earrings shaped like stylized fish, accented with iridescent green and blue inlays. A second pair of earrings features a bear claw or paw motif with an incised avian figure at the center. The third pair consists of three articulated, heart-shaped links on each earring, decorated with chased floral scrollwork. Also included is a pendant featuring a rose quartz hexagonal point held within a decorative silver cap shaped like a frog, which is set with two small red cabochon eyes. Each pair of earrings is matched and suspended from silver wire hooks. The lot is accompanied by a plastic bag with handwritten text reading Sterling Silver.
