Vintage 1970s Silver-Tone Turquoise Natural Stone Drop Earrings Filigree Screw

Screw-back drop earrings with the kind of filigree work that takes patience to do well.

A pair of vintage drop earrings in silver-tone metal, each set with an oval natural turquoise cabochon — opaque blue-green with the characteristic dark matrix veining of genuine stone. Below the turquoise, a carved black stone element sits within an ornate setting. The elongated shank features open filigree work with small embossed floral and sunburst motifs. The back plate shows the same intricate reticulated metalwork.

Screw-back fitting, which was standard for clip and screw earrings of this period.

The drop length suits a medium to long neckline — they sit below the earlobe without being overpowering. The silver-tone and turquoise combination reads as both casual and occasion-ready. Works well with a simple crew neck, a linen shirt, or a neckline that doesn't compete with the stone.
