EARRING PROVENANCE
These earrings came were brought to me by my photography friend here in Santa Fe who inherited these, along with some other vintage gold items from her mother after her passing.(See the Smoky Topaz Quartz ring in the last photo that will make a great set!-this will be under the ‘ring’ category when listed)

The story goes: "That while in the diplomatic service in the 1950´s, my parents were posted mainly overseas & my mom would buy many pieces of jewelry while in Russia, India, Poland, as well as other places in the world where the job took them". My friend did share, that her mom would always go to the best shops that each city had to offer.

****All vintage sold "As Is". If there's any defects, they will be mentioned in the 'specifics". They will be sent just like they are now, in working/wearable condition. And even though they’re in excellent condition & see nothing happening to them, the fact is however, that they’re at 70+ years old, so I exclude myself from responsibility if anything was to happen, whether 2 weeks from now or 2 years from now. If you have ANY questions, please don't hesitate in contacting me!

PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING:
*****To give you close up photos,pictures tend to make the item look much more larger & everything is more magnified & exaggerated than in actuality. So to get an accurate idea of how big these are, what you can do is , pull out a tape measure if you have one (or ruler) & compare to my given measurements above*****
