    AU55 ? What's up with the ear? It looks like a divet or damaged somehow... maybe it's just the photo?

    Looks like a topaz ear-stud.

    AU55/58.

    the details are au, but the luster and color are a concern. the reflection of light in the photo, along with the color, seems to indicate some cleaning. but i can't be sure. the light seems to reflect at 10 and 2 ... but i would expect 10 and 4, or 2 and 7.

    Looks AU. Hard to tell from those pics if it's been cleaned since uncleaned circulated gold can pic up hairline scratches from light circulation and your lighting may be highlighting them.

    Definitely AU -- the images make it look cleaned.
