Gold Pearl Studs Appraisal

Cluster Faux Pearl and Gold-Toned Stud Earrings

A pair of gold-toned cluster stud earrings, each featuring multiple small, spherical, pale yellow or cream-colored beads, likely faux pearls given their uniform appearance and soft luster. The beads are clustered together to form a rounded, almost floral or grape-like shape, reminiscent of a small miniature bouquet. The gold-toned metal setting appears to be a multi-pronged or wire-work design, holding each individual bead securely. One earring is clearly visible from the front, showcasing its full cluster, while the other is seen from a slightly angled perspective, revealing a dark-colored metal earring post extending from its back, indicative of a stud earring design. The overall size of each earring appears to be small, suitable for daily wear. The surface of the pearls exhibits a gentle, uniform sheen, without obvious blemishes, nacre peeling, or significant variations in color, suggesting they are either highly well-preserved real pearls or more likely, imitation pearls. The gold-toned metal shows no visible signs of tarnish or significant wear, maintaining a bright, reflective quality. There are no discernible maker's marks, signatures, or specific hallmarks visible in the image. The style suggests a classic, possibly vintage, or mid-20th century inspired design, though without further details, a definitive age is difficult to ascertain. The craftsmanship appears to be neat, with the beads securely set. The quality indicators point towards costume jewelry, possibly plated or base metal with simulated pearls, designed for aesthetic appeal rather than intrinsic material value.
