Round Cut CZ Solitaire Stud Earrings

Era / Decade
Modern (2010s-Present)
Material
Cubic Zirconia (CZ) center stone; base metal appears to be Sterling Silver or Silver-Plated Brass. Lacks visible hallmark in the photo, often .925 if sterling.
Condition
Good. The stone appears bright, but there is visible oxidation (tarnish) on the post and butterfly back, which is common for silver-based jewelry.
Demand Level
Moderate. Basics like these sell consistently but the market is saturated with similar new items at low price points.

Comparable Sales
Similar unbranded CZ studs sell for $5-$10 on Mercari. Sterling silver versions with brand names like Pandora or Ross-Simons sell for $15-$25.
Description
A pair of classic solitaire stud earrings featuring round-cut clear cubic zirconia stones. Set in a traditional four-prong basket setting with friction (butterfly) backs. Simple, elegant, and versatile for everyday wear.
Key Features
Timeless solitaire design, high-clarity CZ stone, lightweight for daily use, hypoallergenic (if sterling).
Authenticity Indicators
Low confidence. Without a .925, 10k, or 14k stamp on the post or butterfly back, these are treated as costume/fashion jewelry. High-end diamonds would typically have more refined prongs.
Flaws to Note
Tarnish on the posts and backs; no original packaging or box included; authentication of metal purity requires testing.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Mercari or Poshmark as a budget add-on; Facebook Marketplace for local pick-up; or bundled with other jewelry in a 'jewelry lot' on eBay.
Selling Tips
Clean with a silver polishing cloth to remove tarnish from the posts to improve photos. Use the word 'Solitaire' and 'Classic' in the title. If selling alone, ship in a small bubble mailer to keep costs low.
