Vintage sterling silver hoop earrings - Chapal-Zenray -Braided Rope Design

Vintage sterling silver hoop earrings feature raised edges along the sides and an open back. Sterling silver posts. Stamped "NF 925" on the inside of the earrings, "NF" is the makers mark for Chapal-Zenray Inc. a jewelry importer from Texas since the 1980s. Size is 7/8 inches in diameter by 3/4 inch wide. They are in good vintage condition. They do have a lovely soft patina which is one of the pleasures of vintage sterling silver. The earrings are solid and weigh 7 grams each (combined 14g) - so I am including wide comfort clutch backs. These are part of an estate and the owner enjoyed collecting jewelry from the Southwest and Mexico. Enjoy!
