Solid 14k yellow gold starfish with turquoise cabochon centers on shepherd hook wires. The texture on these is exceptional — every surface is worked with fine detail that catches light the way only hand-finished gold does. The robin's egg blue of the turquoise against the warm yellow gold is a combination that has never gone out of style and never will.
Marked IMS 14k, these are solid gold, not filled or plated. At under a gram the weight is featherlight on the ear, which makes the visual impact even more impressive. Starfish motifs sit squarely in the mermaid life collector sweet spot and turquoise is having a genuine moment right now.
Condition: Estate excellent. Both stones secure, hooks straight and wearable. No repairs or damage.
