Up for your consideration is this pair of sterling silver natural gemstone earrings. Millimeter measurements and carat weights are estimated on gemstone styles. Silver and gold are sold by total gram weight. Combine shipping and selling schedule at the bottom of the page.
- EARRINGS: All the earrings are sanitized. *On post styles if we can't clean the backs to our satisfaction, or if they didn't come with backs, we add stainless steel, silicone or plastic backs instead which are hypoallergenic for most ears. For hook earrings, we can add silicone stoppers. Send us a message if you need something specific. Gemstones, beads, wood and other items attached may not be silver. Some earrings are stamped inside and/or on the post and are often hard to see.
- Each item will be wrapped separately to avoid scratches.
- All jewelry is gently cleaned and polished and will arrive in a fabric organza gift bag or jewelry box. I sell in high volume so the item may need more polishing depending on your preferences but I do my best.

Items that are used will have varying degrees of surface scratches and other signs of wear. Your idea of “normal wear” will be different than mine. I do my best to show every flaw I see but please read the description and zoom in to the photos before you buy something. Returns are free.
- We do our best to identify the gemstones. We use a Presidium Gem Tested when applicable and/or a diamond beam. Many stones are not listed on the tester such as apatite, bixbite, etc., so we GUESS. The only way to certify a stone to be natural is to send it to the GIA in New York. Commercial presidium gem testers can't differentiate between lab created and natural stones. The GIA charges $150 or more PER ITEM to certify a stone. You are always welcome to return an item if we have made a mistake or you don't like it. I would never mislead you. I'm a jewelry collector too! :)
- We measure the gemstones as best we can. If we can't get an exact measurement due to the setting, we measure including the bezel. Measurements and carat weight are estimates and are not exact.
- ACID TESTING INFO: Vintage items will always have wear and stamps are often worn off or impossible to see. This is why we acid test every item. When we show the acid test, the scratch glows blue for sterling silver and disappears with plated metals. Some items will have acid marks or scratches from testing. We do our best to hide the testing area so you don't see it.
SELLING SCHEDULE
I list new items Sunday, Tuesday and Friday!
Sunday: My best picks of the week are listed on Sunday including silver, gold and gemstones. If you want your item shipped out Monday morning, please pay before 12 midnight.
Tuesday: Second listing day of nice items to end on Sunday.
Friday: SALE DAY! Many items start at .99 cents and do sell for .99 cents to $5! You can get crazy good deals on Friday. You can message me here or on instagram #discountcouturejewelry with your requests on what YOU want to see.
We combine shipping! The first item is $4.00 and the rest are .50 cents to $2 depending on weight. (Please be aware the average cost for US to ship is $4.55 for 5 ounces, so we are discounting the shipping right now.)
International orders are combined by weight. If you have issues with international shipping, make a list of the item #s you want and I can make you a reserved listing. This is much cheaper if you are buying a bunch of items.
When buying BUY IT NOW items, click on ADD TO CART, not buy it now. That way, the system will combine your order and discount your shipping. If you have any problems with combined shipping, let us know. I can always refund you if you over pay. We can invoice you on auction items, but not buy it now (due to the way the system is set up).
We ship many fragile, expensive orders on a regular basis. All this is done by one person so please allow 48 hours for packaging time but 90% of all packages are sent the following morning. All packages are wrapped well so the delicate findings are not bend or broken.
If you are buying multiple items, you can pay by Friday. Just let us know you are still shopping so we don't cancel your order if you are over the allotted time. If you are buying multiple auction items, please request an invoice so you don't over pay in shipping charges.
Only keep the jewelry you love. If you open a package and find you don't like the item you purchased, let us know and you can return it. No hassle, no issues. Because we will always strive to make you happy, please allow us to fix your issue instead of leaving neutral or negative feedback. If you have a problem and we will always rectify it in a way that is pleasing to you!
We are honest and give the best overview of the flaws we see. We ask you return the item to us in the original packaging and do not wear it. Please let us know how we can better serve you.
