I picked up these earrings in Gallup, NM at a pawn shop. They are beautifully crafted - I believe onyx and inlay triplet opal (see what you think) they are marked sterling and have a hallmark that is a circle divided in quarters - the only clear part is the top, with the G and F. I can’t tell if those are symbols or additional letters… maybe W on the bottom right?? What do you think… didn’t find them in my books at first glance.
GF may mean gold filled - i can’t tell from the photo if they appear gold or patina silver.

Yes, I think gold filled is the meaning of the GF. From the pic it looks like a gold-colored wash on the top surface of a sterling item.
It is silver - reflecting something. I’ll take another photo
Could you take a pic without flash? The camera is still showing what looks like a gold colored wash on the top, though this is an overexposed image. I gather your eye isn’t seeing gold, but a good pic would clarify.
Looks like the mark for Great Falls Metal Works.
