{"product_id":"vintage-74","title":"Vintage 14K Gold Filled Nautilus Shell Stud Earrings — 1980s 14K GF Ribbed Spiral Shell Earrings","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eA nautilus shell rendered in warm, high-polish gold — the spiral coils inward from a scalloped outer edge to a tight central whorl, with fine radiating ribs fanning across the entire surface. The form is both architectural and organic, the kind of shape that looks equally at home in a natural history museum and on an ear. Stamped 14K G.F. on the interior, these are gold filled rather than plated, meaning a substantially thicker layer of gold bonded to a base metal core — a meaningful step up in quality and longevity from standard costume jewelry. The steel post and butterfly back closures are practical and secure. Coastal and nature-inspired jewelry of this caliber had a strong moment in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and pieces like this have held their appeal without effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials\u003cimg\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e14K gold filled, steel post and butterfly back closures\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eEra: 1980s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMaker: Unsigned; stamped 14K G.F. on interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eStyle \/ design notes: Sculptural nautilus \/ spiral shell form; fine radiating rib detail across face; scalloped outer edge; tight central spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eClosure: Steel post and butterfly back (pierced)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eColor: Warm yellow gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCondition: Good vintage condition, please see images\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eApprox. 0.75 in across, 0.5 in wide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCollected by\u003c\/strong\u003e Mineral and Matter\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mineral and Matter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48958995890411,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0345\/9569\/files\/shellstuds.png?v=1783025977","url":"https:\/\/mineralandmatter.com\/products\/vintage-74","provider":"Mineral and Matter","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
