Click to enlarge image.

This is a pair of earrings with abalone shell on an alpaca backing. Each earring is stamped "Alpaca Mexico" on the back, and each one measures 1" high x 1 1/8" wide at the widest points. Some marks in the metal from age and use, and some small bubbles, brown swirls and not-quite-flush fittings on the some of the cracks between the inlays of the shell. Nonetheless, a very lovely pair of vintage earrings.
