Vintage 14K Gold Filled Open Heart Stud Earrings with Rhinestones

Description
Tiny open hearts from the 1980s, drawn in a single ribbon of 14K gold fill that leans slightly to one side. A row of four clear rhinestones in a silvery milgrain setting runs down one edge, like dew along a leaf. The gold-filled construction gives them more lasting color than plated pieces. A quiet everyday pair, small enough for a second piercing.
