<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joan, post: 9570626, member: 5398&quot;]Thank you Any Jewelry for clarifying the various issues with these earrings and glad to hear the stones are turquoise. I have one other pair that look like older NA screwback earrings. The screwbacks are a little smaller and are signed Sterling (there are no marks on the backs of the earrings).</p><p><br /></p><p>I noticed the stones on the older earrings look about as highly polished as the Maisels, so I did the water droplet test and the drop stayed as a bubble. Now I&#039;m wondering if there&#039;s some type of coating on the surface, or maybe just oil from years of handling?, or are both sets of earrings possibly 1960s-70s after turquoise stabilizing started as Hollyblue said.

I found a website that says the stabilization process first began in Arizona in the 1950s (palmstrading.com), but who says they&#039;re the final authority on the topic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
