If you bring it into Tiffany they should be able to authenticate them for you. Usually Tiffany products will have a TCO hallmark on them. If someone in customer service can't authenticate them for you then you will have to leave the earrings with them and there will be a charge for the time it takes to do the research.

These are a fairly typical retro (1940s) style, so not yet antique, and the bow style was produced in relative abundance. I agree that if they were Tiffany, they would have additional marks. I would guess they are American made, as European gold tended to be higher karat. Good luck with your research!
