Vintage Gold-Toned Brooch and Earring Set with Green Faceted Stones

This is a vintage gold-toned metal jewelry set comprising a brooch and a pair of clip-on earrings, likely dating from the mid-20th century, possibly the 1950s or 1960s, given its design aesthetic. The set features a prominent use of textured, brushed, or satin-finish gold-toned metal, creating an organic, leaf-like or floral motif. Each piece incorporates a faceted, spherical, dark green stone, which appears to be glass or a synthetic material, given its uniform color and clarity, though further examination would be needed to confirm. The stones are cabochon cut on one side and faceted on the visible side, giving them a subtle sparkle. The brooch is the larger piece, featuring multiple overlapping, curvilinear gold-toned 'leaves' that are slightly concave, adding dimension. These metallic elements display a finely striated texture, simulating natural leaf veins or a brushed finish. A central, large, dark green faceted spherical stone is nestled within the gold-toned design, held in place by a swirled or wrapped metal band and a small, decorative cluster of granular or beaded elements. The earrings are smaller, each featuring a single dark green faceted spherical stone of the same type as the brooch, similarly accented with a wrapped gold-toned band and a small beaded cluster. The metalwork on all pieces exhibits consistent styling and craftsmanship, suggesting they are a matched set. The overall condition appears good for its age, with a consistent patina on the metalwork. No significant visible damage such as dents, cracks, or missing elements are apparent from the image. The clip-on mechanism on the earrings indicates a design typical of the mid-century period. There are no readily visible maker's marks or signatures in the provided images.
