    There was only one mark on them, and I had to shoot through my 40x loupe to get a picture. The dangles are hollow. The mark is a DN with what looks like three leaves. It's not one I know, and the earrings are recent so I wouldn't, but I'm wondering if they're not some kind of Middle-Eastern.

    They're gold. I haven't tested it yet, but from the feel and construction they're at least 14k, unless they're a really good grade of gold-filled out to fool me.

    I think it is. Looks like the S just sneezed, so be sure to test it for covid.

    Close up it's definitely DN, the line for the D is the same depth as the rest of the letter, with some sort of olive branch whatsit above and slightly less three dimensional. Maybe Israeli? The hollow dangles would be their style, and there's a letter in the Hebrew alphabet that looks like an N.

    Israel marks the gold fineness, so it isn't Israel imo. I don't really see anything typical Israeli about these earrings.

    I agree and was just remarking what the N looking letter would be in Hebrew. Cool earrings-very MCM to me.

    Thanks. My written Hebrew pretty well stinks. I can copy it but not really read any.
