<p>[QUOTE="Elen Beattie, post: 9463481, member: 18081"]Hello everyone! I am slowly learning about antique jewelry, but earrings have always confused me (I haven't actually seen many antique or older ones tbh). Got these dangles at auction recently, 1.5"L. I think the stone bead is aventurine but can't quite tell from my gem tester. They had grubby 925 silver hooks on them which I have removed, I have some gold plated ones that I thought might look better. I think the silver hooks were replacements. Do these have any age or are they just a little scruffy, modern pieces? What should I look for to help me identify better in the future? Thanks for any help <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>[ATTACH=full]440761[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]440762[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]440763[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]440764[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]440765[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
