Vintage aventurine drop earrings set in 9 carat yellow gold. These retro earrings are very cool! A cabochon cut green aventurine is set horizontally at the base of a splayed gold drop. Two of the three wires flare out to frame and secure the gemstone and the third terminates in a dot shape just above the gem. The drops are articulated where they are connected to the kidney shaped ear wires, allowing them to move gracefully with the wearer. Circa 1960s - 1970s.
