Description

The listing, 14k Gold Post White Pearl Stud Earrings Pair has ended.

The numbers 585 are stamped on the post and 14K on the backing. There is another symbol on the backing that I can't make out or am unsure how to describe. These markings can only be seen clearly with a jewellers loop. These earrings are not sphere shaped but more like a dollop of cookie dough.

Questions & Comments

Like a very fine sand paper!Gritty!

Ok, tried it across my teeth, also found a 'pearl' I knew to be fake (plastic) and a piece of black metal/wet sanding paper and it definitely did not feel smooth like the plastic but more like the sandpaper, very fine grit like you said! :-) Thank you for teaching me something new and likely confirming they are real!

I don't see this answer (or couldn't see for looking) but probably feels gritty because aren't pearls made from sand in oysters, so probably why real pearls feel gritty. Pearls are, I guess made from irritation of a piece of sand inside the oyster. So basically we are bidding on an irritation...lol

Or a beautiful adaptation of nature, depending on how you choose to look at it, lol. ;-) Ty.

F&W! Run your teeth gently over the pearl,if the are gritty like sand they are real. Smooth is plastic,or glass,man made! These do look real just by the pictures!They look like what they call button pearls,because of their shape!

Ah, that name makes sense, thank you! Do people want me to run my teeth over to try it? lol Do people's teeth sensitivity vary? Is that a sure way to tell? Why is it gritty, if u happen to know.:-)

another symbol on the backing that I can't make out or am unsure how to describe
really need to know what this is...to make sure it is not gold overlay...please advise
is that symbol right after 14K???
thank you

Mar 2nd, 2015 at 5:55:37 AM PST by

14K is on 1 side of the circle backing and across from it, on the same side, is the symbol. I drew a pic of it & added it above. The 'p' seems pointed instead of curved. Seems more like a makers mark from what I read. Also, did as another bidder suggested and it did seem a little fine gritty, so the pearl seems to be real as well, from what I can tell. Also, on the earring POSTS, the 585 is followed by an infinity symbol. It does not appear to be 2 circles intertwined to me but more like an 8 turned on it's side, no vesica piscis. Thanks, for extracting further details. :-)

thats the jewelers mark to bad it was m m on it good luck and many bids

Mar 3rd, 2015 at 3:49:28 PM PST by

Had trouble finding what the difference was as they seem to be used interchangeably sometimes or even called a jewelers maker's mark and there is also the fineness mark, Trademark and Hallmark which maybe is what it should be called? A bit confusing! Bottomline seems to be the mark gives it a more assurance though.:-) When I look up maker's mark on gold, I get a lot of hits for the whiskey, lol.

This is one description I found:
The Maker/Responsibly/Sponsor’s Mark
Originally it was used to identify the silversmith or goldsmith responsible for making the article. The initial letters of his Christian name and surname are used. In the case of partnerships and companies nowadays it generally consists of the initials of one or more of the partners and in the case of a limited company the initial letters are used.

This is from Hallmark Research Institute under the heading Trademark:
Here in the United States, no mark is mandatory on any item of precious metal but if a maker chooses to place a fineness or standard mark (14k, 18k, etc.) on an item, then it is mandatory that there be a mark from the maker to show who is responsible for the guarantee of claimed fineness. In the jewelry trade, this mark is called a "trademark". In other countries, it is called a maker's mark, responsibility or sponsor's mark and may be present along with the hallmarks that a country may punch in accordance to their system of marks.
Thanks for your comment!

You said the posts are thin... gold... but thin. Are they short too? Or normal length? Thank you.

Mar 5th, 2015 at 9:04:33 PM PST by

Pretty much normal length, maybe only a few hairs thinner and shorter, it's mainly the backing that is super tiny as seen in the second picture. TY.

Looks like your auction is going great! Thanks for answering all the questions that were buried in my brain but were asked by other people.

Mar 7th, 2015 at 6:52:10 AM PST by

Thank you! Yeah, I usually like to be extremely detailed before I post but I this one slipped by me. I'm learning a lot too, lol.
