<p>[QUOTE="Curioser, post: 2213193, member: 13823"]I have a pair of vintage earring that appear pewter in color with fronts in black and bright white enamel on ceramic? The background has bumpy texture and the bamboo is white with gold trim. The back marks are Japan and some Kanji(?) characters. Does anyone know what the material(s) of the front and/or back is? And can you take a guess at age?</p><p><br /></p><p>Second item is a pair of sterling silver earrings. I guess I'd call them a cage style--any other ideas? I think the mark is Italian because I've seen similar on pieces from Italy either stamped Italy or with "made in Italy" tags. It's a lozenge with a star on the far right, 22 in the center and PI on the right. Is this an Italian mark? And is there a way to ID the maker based on the 22 or the PI?</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, one last question: I see some posters embed their images right in the listing, instead of using attachments. I didn't see a link to do so on this message page. Can someone give me the instructions? Thanks so much![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
