Coral Color Earrings Appraisal

Vintage Faux Coral and Pearl Cluster Earrings

This pair of vintage earrings features a striking circular design, approximately 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter, centered on a single, prominent faux pearl. The faux pearl, exhibiting a creamy white color with a gentle iridescent luster, is encircled by an intricate filigree-style metalwork in what appears to be a darkened or antiqued gold-tone finish. This metalwork forms an open, floral-like or trefoil pattern, adding depth and a delicate touch to the design. Surrounding this central filigree and pearl are numerous small, oval-shaped cabochons, likely made of faux coral, in a vibrant, consistent red-orange hue. These 'coral' pieces are individually set and form a rich, textured border around the main design element. The overall construction suggests a cluster style. The metal shows signs of age-appropriate patina and some darkening, especially within the crevices of the filigree, enhancing its vintage appeal. No obvious damage such as missing stones or significant chips is apparent, though minor surface wear consistent with age and use may be present upon closer inspection. The backs of the earrings are not visible, so the type of closure (e.g., clip-on, screw-back, post) and any manufacturing markings remain unknown. The aesthetic points towards a mid-20th century design, possibly from the 1950s to 1970s, characterized by the use of colorful imitation stones and detailed metalwork in costume jewelry.
