I found these earrings at an antique jewelry store (circa 1980) near my hometown. They want $4,900 for the earrings. 18 K w/g, 24 marquise stones and 20 round brilliant stones, tcw 2.50. G/H, vs2 - SI1. They weigh 6.1 grams. I find them to be unique as the bottom two star shapes can be taken off of the post section of the earring. They can be worn as a stud or dangle with the two bottom pieces attached. Also, could possibly have pearls made to hook on the stud portion or a gemstone, and other possibilities. I do not have experience with purchasing antique jewelry and don't want to be taken - purchase something that I am later to find out wasn't worth anything near what I paid for it. They were beautiful in the shop under their lighting as well as out in the sunshine. I would be taking their word for the quality of the stones, weight, etc. Does anyone have advise on how I should determine if they are worth what the vendor is asking? I know that I can probably negotiate with a cash offer as I'm sure she would love to sell them to me. I'll try to post a few other photos. Thank you
