The guy that sold them to me said they are, but I don't have the acids to test with. The clasp says "sterling" and the earrings say "sterling" and they are a set. It seems old but the beads are not marked. They look authentic so I priced them accordingly. They don't stick to a magnet and don't have a strong metallic odor.
The magnet test is usually a no fail it is absolutely beautiful and it's very unique... Usually the beads would not be individually marked I didn't have my glasses on so I wasn't sure if they were beads or Sterling beads lol I appreciate you Marlie for your time I think I may have to treat myself to these beauties:) respectfully are you firm on the price?
