Vintage Akoya Pearl And Sterling Earrings

Simply lovely and timeless Akoya pearl earrings set in sterling silver.  These are cultured freshwater pearls with very nice luster and color.  There are three pearls per earring with grape leaves, vines and a decorative swirl.  The earrings have screw backs that are marked "STERLING". 

The earrings are in superb shape with the exception of three pearls on one side of the earrings.  It appears that a substance of some sort adhered to the pearls and there was a little discoloration and nacre loss.  Luckily that occurred towards the backs of the pearls so it is not very noticeable at all when worn.  See pictures.  We've priced the earrings down accordingly.
