Re: Please help identify the gemstones in this earring

Can you post a picture of the back is it signed? That can help to ascertain if they are semi precious stones or not

Dog-tooth or baroque pearls, amethyst, and some sort of dyed quartz?

Beautiful.. I say Topaz, amethyst, pearl and opal. Less confident with it being opal as opposed to other “ obvious” stones. There are a few on here that will know for sure.. wait for them to chime in. Add 14k to header/question .  Will help with opinion.

Quartz is a good guess too for multi stone

Stunning earrings btw.. you will do well with these.. But in my opinion no matter what advice you get here being that they are set in 14 karat I would 100% take those to a local jeweler and have them tested most mom-and-pop shops( not a chain store, the sales people don’t know as much there as opposed to a family owned store..imo) will look at it for free

Or even a reputable pawn shop

I'm guessing amethyst, citrine, pearl, and some version of dyed quartz. If the stones I believe are citrine turn out to be Imperial Topaz, that would be quite a coup.

I'm guessing banded tourmaline, amethyst, pearl and either hessonite garnet or more tourmaline for the yellow/amber stones.

Re: Please help identify the gemstones in this earring

If you are planning to sell them you need to take them to someone and have the stones tested. No one can give you a definitive answer on what a stone is by looking at a photo.

 

You need a positive test result or you leave yourself open to a return for an item being not as described!

I second the need for testing or expert ID. You really don't want to court a SNAD by not having a valid ID.

 

It always pays to know exactly what you're selling.

Always assume on the lower end first then be pleasantly surprised when you can prove better.  I'm seeing tourmaline, amethyst, citrine, and CULTURED pearls (highly unlikely to get pearls in that weird shape naturally let lone FOUR of them).  All natural stones listed are relatively cheap and plentiful so easy choice if you are mass producing something.

A Presidium would help here.
