Hello and thank you for viewing our listing! Estate Vintage Solid 14K Yellow Gold 9mm Cultured Pearl Button Studs, 1.02 g Provenance: Single-owner private collection (Acquired circa 1950s - 1970s) Pearl Size: Substantial Baroque 8mm-9mm Diameter Metal Quality: Solid 14 Karat Yellow Gold (Posts & backings fully acid-scratch tested) An Exquisite Opportunity for the Discerning Fine Jewelry Connoisseur Available for your consideration is a truly magnificent pair of vintage estate pearl stud earrings, sourced from a private mid-century collection. Acquired brand-new by an elegant collector between the 1950s and 1970s, this pair represents the absolute peak of classic mid-century luxury presentation. Seller Notes: Spectacular mid-century estate condition. Solid 14K yellow gold components are fully acid-tested and verified. The substantial 9mm button pearls feature an extraordinary, high-luxury mirror luster with a striking iridescent orient. The Magnificence of the 8mm-9mm Button Pearl: Measuring a substantial 8mm-9mm in diameter, these pearls possess a striking, high-profile presence on the ear that commands attention. They are beautifully shaped as "button" pearls—featuring a smooth, high-domed front face and a flat reverse. This architectural shape is highly coveted for premium studs because it allows the pearl to sit completely flush, upright, and perfectly balanced against the earlobe, entirely eliminating the forward "droop" common with heavy, fully round pearls. Luster & Visual Provenance: The luster on this pair is absolutely extraordinary. They exhibit a rich, mirror-like cream-white body color with a powerful, visible orient—the highly desirable rainbow iridescence that dances across the pearl's skin when caught by the light. Finding vintage pearls from this era that have retained such a brilliant, pristine surface is incredibly rare and a testament to how beautifully they were cared for over the decades. Verified Material & Condition Details: The Gold: For absolute transparency, both the structural posts and the matching butterfly clutches have been professionally acid-scratch tested and are guaranteed solid 14K yellow gold. The Hallmarks: The posts feature the original "14K" stamp alongside regional maker marks. The butterfly backings display clear, dual international/Asian purity symbols from the vintage high-end export market. Condition: Superior vintage condition. The pearls are firmly secured to their 14K gold cups. The gold posts are straight, and the butterfly clutches clip on tightly for a safe, worry-free wear. Condition: Pre-owned - Excellent.
