You can see that these are vintage earrings with a screw-on clasp and round imitation pearl beads set in a metal “crown” type holder. On the clasp knob there is a mark 1/20 12K GF, which means: 1/20 – the ratio of the gold layer by weight (1/20 of the weight of the jewelry is gold); 12K GF – “Gold Filled” technique with 12 carat gold. This is a thicker and more durable layer than regular gold plating.
