Teal Tassel Drop Clip-On Earrings with Baublebar Maker's Mark

This item is a pair of clip-on earrings, each measuring approximately 3 1/2 inches long by 3 inches wide. The dominant material is a teal-colored textile, likely silk or a synthetic equivalent, intricately wrapped around a teardrop-shaped frame. The frame itself appears to be a lightweight core, possibly metal or plastic, which gives the earring its distinctive silhouette. From this central teardrop, multiple components extend: two smaller spherical or 'bauble' elements on each side, which are also wrapped in the same teal material; and three distinct tassels, two flaring outwards from the sides and one hanging directly below the bottom point of the teardrop. The textile wrapping exhibits a tight and consistent application, indicating careful craftsmanship. The color is a vibrant, saturated teal. At the top of each earring, where it connects to the clip mechanism, there is a small, possibly faceted, diamond-like stone, adding a subtle sparkle. The clip-on mechanism, crucial for its wearability without pierced ears, features a metallic backplate. On this backplate, a maker's mark is partially visible. The discernible portion reads 'BA****EBAR', strongly suggesting the brand 'Baublebar'. Below this, an abstract or stylized image, possibly resembling a stemware glass, is faintly etched. The metallic elements of the clip and the small ring connecting the textile portion to the clip appear to be a brassy or antique gold-toned metal, showing some slight wear or patina consistent with age and use. The overall condition appears good with no obvious major damage, tears in the fabric, or significant discoloration. The style suggests a contemporary or modern aesthetic, likely from the 2000s or 2010s, aligning with Baublebar's known production periods. The combination of textile, tassels, and a touch of sparkle indicates a fashion accessory designed for statement wear.
