    old silver earring

    Hit a old park tonite that had given up old silver in the past, but no such luck this time. Did manage to pull this old silver earring, tho. I'm guessing its old 'cause there's no hallmark, and it looks old. It actually looks really cool in the light 'cause it has these sparkling stones in it, but I couldn't get them to sparkle in the pic. My wife thinks they are fake, and she is probably right.

    That piece does look like it has some age to it. I do love finding such types of old sterling silver jewelry. That one is a keeper.

    Nice looking Earring. If them stones are black, but have a silver tone to them, then they probably are Hematite (an iron oxide). Now all you have to do is find the other one lol
