Artisanal Spiral Dangle Earrings with Lampwork-Style Beads

This is a pair of dangle earrings, each featuring a polished gold-tone spiral metal design suspending a distinctive decorative bead. The spiral metal work appears to be relatively reflective, suggesting a polished finish, perhaps brass or a gold-plated base metal, and shows some minor surface wear consistent with use. Each bead is spherical or near-spherical and features a dark, possibly black or very dark brown, base color. Embellished within the dark base of the beads are several decorative elements. There is a prominent, swirling pink or reddish-pink element, giving the impression of a floral motif or an abstract design, likely created from glass (e.g., Murano glass or lampwork). Surrounding this are smaller, irregular flecks or inclusions of a metallic, possibly copper-toned or gold-toned, material, adding sparkle and texture. Additionally, there are small, rounded blue elements, possibly glass beads or enamel dots, embedded on the surface. The construction of the beads suggests a handcrafted process, possibly lampwork, given the intricate glass designs. The overall aesthetic points to an artistic or bohemian style, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century. The ear hooks are lever-back style, also in a gold tone, providing secure fastening. There are no immediate visible maker's marks or signatures. The condition appears good overall, with typical minor wear appropriate for used costume jewelry; no major damage such as chips or breaks are apparent in the beads or significant tarnishing on the metalwork.
