Help with these earrings, please

[maeday76]

Hi all! I'm trying to find a little more about these little beauties, they're only marked 14k & sterling on the body (no signature/mark) but looking at the backs I found a hallmark I KNOW I've seen before, but can't place. It looks like James Avery's mark, but it's not. The photo doesn't show up great. The mark looks like a capital M or three uprights with a ?C? O? In the middle. Any help is much appreciated. 

 

 

If you recognize the maker or the mark (the mark may not go to the earrings, the backs may have been "borrowed.") Please shout out. 

Cheers, 

M.

Hi Mae!!! Those sure are nice! So the earrings are marked 14k & sterling? Vermeil than, but the butterfly post backs are only stamped Sterling with a MM that far away viewing looks John Hardy. MM does look like HH also, Google lens ain't got nothing ( in my best southern accent) and it is a good possibility that the butterflies do not belong to these earrings.

     What I would do in this case...

List what you know.. Vtg Vermeil Abstract Brutalist glass accent pierced earrings.

    You have enough going for you with these earrings and I would tend to believe that the designer involved would have his Makers mark stamped on these earrings and not the post backs only as they get lost.

     Looks like similar pieces are going around $79 and up.

I think the pendants are opal or moonstone, but yeah. Everything else you said is right, because the middle sections are gold plated, while the body is silver. It does look like two H's. Lemme see about Hardy. You're a star, as usual @silverstatetreasureboxes

John Hardy's mark has a J running through the center of an H. Could this mark be a single M?

Correct on the John Hardy mark, we had problems with these earrings as OP Mae has questions about the butterfly backs not even belonging to the earrings.
