Vintage Gold-Plated Beaver Stud Earrings – Mint Old Store Stock

Tiny beavers with beautifully textured coats and unmistakable paddle tails make these vintage wildlife earrings wonderfully distinctive. Each dimensional gold-plated beaver features a rounded body, small alert ears, neatly modeled paws, and a broad crosshatched tail. The mirror-image animals face one another, creating a perfectly balanced pair. The earrings remain mint on their original card, which identifies the ear fittings as surgical-steel posts. They came from an auction lot belonging to a taxidermist who closed his business during the 1990s and were never sold or worn. Subject: North American beavers Era: Approximately 1990s Material: Gold-plated metal Ear fitting: Surgical-steel posts Style: Post-style pierced studs Measurements: 1/4 inch tall by 1/2 inch wide Markings: None Condition: Mint, unworn on the original card Curator’s Note These two busy beavers seem to have paused their work for a private face-to-face conference. The crosshatched tails are marvelous little details—and make this an uncommon subject for a pair of earrings.
