These nice old earrings are stamped BC800 - that would be 800/1000 parts silver so not quite sterling. Each has a carved shell Grecian lady profile 13mm x 9mm. The shell has a lusterous pearl color to the top layer and iridescent sheen to the gray base. These are working screwbacks and done dangle style. Each is app. 1.05inches x .60inches. These are in very good condition overall with some tarnish with age so could use a polish if you do not like that old patina. BG222
