    Good Morning Everyone!

    I got these earrings that are sterling silver and 14k gold. On the post it has the Leach & Garner infinity mark, but on the back of the earrings it looks like a designer signature mark and I am hoping that someone might recognize it. Also can you help me with the age? I am thinking 80's, but I am always wrong with this kind of stuff. I appreciate any help you can give me and please enjoy the rest of your day.

    Thank you
    CJ

    T or J a b c is all I can read. These were done in a shed or a small factory and signed by someone with a dremel. That implies late 80s or later, but that's as far as I can get.

    It has the Leach & Garner infinity mark with 14k on the post. So they are the factory. The mark is hard to find. Thank you for responding Everlyb30!

    These look like Egyptian revival, perhaps from the 1980s, as @evelyb30 says.
    Carved amethyst scarabs and all.

    The two holes make me think buttons? Could these have been converted?

    The holes are rivets which connect the front piece to the back.

    Possibly made setting the stones easier too - no air pressure if the settings were made tightly.

    You can see that there are three separate parts not counting the stones or the post. The part that holds the stone is tightly holding down the gold and silver center parts. I hope I made sense.
