I came across these earrings that are turquoise on one side and inlay on the other. They’re kind of cool looking. The thread about inlay got my curiosity up on these. They’re about an inch long and have some weight to them. I wonder if the Peeps think they are NA or more of a Philippine, Tibeten or Chinese design. Also what kind of stones they might be. No hallmark because they are turquoise on the back. One of the turquoise backs in the second photo has a darker blue area on the right side. I’m not sure if it’s the stone or it got exposed to something. As always, I look forward to learning from what the group can decipher. Thank you!

Are there any markings on the backs?
No, no markings at all.
the turquoise on the back looks like composite or compressed turquoise - chips or offcuts of different pieces all mashed together. it can give you that chunky look of different colored areas.
@Jemez2 , thank you. I hadn’t noticed that. I’ll have to take a closer look at them.
