    Hello everyone! Picked up these small dove earrings recently, I think they might be silver but haven't had a chance to test them yet. Are they older or even vintage? I'm determined to fine antique earrings one of these days :hilarious:. Thanks!

    First impression is modern.

    Interestingly if that is your hand there are some amazing life lines on that palm but no whirls or loops on the fingers.:rolleyes:

    You could live a long and happy life, but those fingers are very unusual, really.

    In the past, before digital technology, I took hundeds if not thousands of black ink dabs of criminals, non looked like yours.

    I'm no finger print expert by any means, but I remember what I did.

    From the photographs provided I think your marks are very unusual.

    Huh. Doesn't look a lot different than mine.(LOL)

    The doves, btw, are almost certainly new.

    Agree with the doves being recent.
    Don't some criminals sand their fingertips so their fingerprints can't be identified? Elen, what have you been up to?!:joyful::)
